With the rapid development of digital inkjet printing, it will inevitably lead to the uneven quality of inkjet printing ink products on the market. Therefore, making a more comprehensive and accurate quality evaluation of digital printing ink is particularly important. In this study, a short process and environment-friendly washing-free disperse dye ink was prepared based on the research on ink quality. The quality of printing ink is closely related to its physical properties, printing ink stability, inkjet performance, and inkjet printing effect. The microdistribution state of water for washing-free disperse dye ink was analyzed by LF-NMR, and the influence of the microstate of water on the macro physical properties of the ink was clarified. The physical properties (particle size, pH value, surface tension, viscosity, rheological properties, etc. ) of the washing-free disperse dye ink were systematically tested and analyzed. At the same time, the stability (weatherability, the temperature sensitivity of viscosity, and shear stability) and inkjet performance (drive waveform A, B, and C) of washing-free disperse dye ink were systematically investigated. Finally, the inkjet printing effect of washing-free disperse dye ink was evaluated. This study systematically examined the quality and printing effect of the prepared washing-free disperse dye ink and provided quality evaluation reference for the development of high-quality washing-free disperse dye ink.
