Abstract
Disclosed herein is an ink-jet printing process comprising at least the steps of: PA1 (a) successively applying, as ink droplets, at least two inks of different colors to a cloth to form a color-mixed portion; PA1 (b) subjecting the cloth to a heat treatment to fix dyes contained in the inks to the cloth; and PA1 (c) washing the cloth to remove unfixed dyes from the cloth, wherein the inks comprise water, an organic solvent and individual reactive dyes different from each other in reaction rate, and the volume of a droplet of the ink containing a slower-reacting dye is made smaller upon the application of the inks.
