前処理液は、固化によって形成される前処理液膜の弾性率が2.5GPa~5.0GPaであることが好ましく、2.5GPa~4.0GPaであることがより好ましい。前処理液膜の弾性率が2.5GPa以上であると、前処理液膜の界面への応力集中が緩和されるため、画像記録物のラミネート強度がより向上する。一方、前処理液膜の弾性率が5.0GPa以下であると、前処理液膜の内部への応力集中が緩和されるため、画像記録物のラミネート強度がより向上する。

エージング後のラミネート体から、長さ100mm×幅15mmのサンプル片を切り出した。
次に、サンプル片における長手方向一端から長さ30mmまでの領域における、ラミネート用基材とラミネート強度評価サンプルとを手で剥離した。残りの長さ70mmの領域については、ラミネート用基材とラミネート強度評価サンプルとを貼り合わせたまま残した。
次に、サンプル片における、剥離した部分のラミネート用基材と剥離した部分のラミネート強度評価サンプルとを、反対方向に引っ張る引っ張り試験を実施した。引っ張る方向は、上記残りの長さ70mmの領域(ラミネート用基材とラミネート強度評価サンプルとを貼り合わせたまま残した領域)に対して垂直な方向とした。
この引っ張り試験により、上記残りの長さ70mmの領域における、ラミネート用基材とラミネート強度評価サンプルとを剥離した際の剥離強度を求めた。得られた剥離強度を、ラミネート強度とした。評価基準は以下のとおりである。
なお、上記引っ張り試験は、引っ張り試験機(製品名「TENSILON RTM-25」、オリエンテック社製)を用いて行った。
5:画像記録物とラミネート用基材とのラミネート強度が2N/15mm以上2.5N/15mm未満である。
4:画像記録物とラミネート用基材とのラミネート強度が1.5N/15mm以上2N/15mm未満である。
3:画像記録物とラミネート用基材とのラミネート強度が1N/15mm以上1.5N/15mm未満である。
2:画像記録物とラミネート用基材とのラミネート強度が0.5N/15mm以上1N/15mm未満である。
1:画像記録物とラミネート用基材とのラミネート強度が0.5N/15mm未満である。
画像記録物におけるベタ画像上に、セロテープ(登録商標、No.405、ニチバン(株)製、幅12mm、以下、単に「テープ」ともいう。)のテープ片を貼り付け、次いでテープ片を剥離することにより、密着性を評価した。
テープの貼り付け及び剥離は、具体的には、下記の方法により行った。
一定の速度でテープを取り出し、約75mmの長さにカットし、テープ片を得た。
得られたテープ片をベタ画像上に重ね、テープ片の中央部の幅12mm、長さ25mmの領域を指で貼り付け、指先でしっかりこすった。
テープ片を貼り付けてから5分以内に、テープ片の端をつかみ、できるだけ60°に近い角度で0.5~1.0秒で剥離した。
剥離したテープ片における付与物の有無と、ベタ画像の剥がれの有無と、を目視で観察した。評価基準は以下のとおりである。
4:テープ片に若干の付与物が認められたが、画像の剥がれは認められない。
3:テープ片に若干の付与物が認められ、画像に若干の剥がれが認められるが、実用上許容できる範囲内である。
2:テープ片に付与物が認められ、画像に剥がれも認められ、実用上許容できる範囲を超えている。
1:テープ片に付与物が認められ、画像がほとんど剥がれ、基材が視認される。
以下のようにして、上記インクの保存安定性を評価した。
インク調製後に25℃の条件下で1時間静置したインクの粘度(以下、「保存前粘度」とする)、及び、インク調製後に密封した状態で、50℃、14日間の条件下で保存したインクの粘度(以下、「保存後粘度」とする)を、それぞれ測定した。保存前粘度及び保存後粘度は、いずれも、VISCOMETER TV-22(TOKI SANGYO CO.LTD製)を用いて、30℃、100rpm(revolutions per minute)の条件で測定した。ここで、密封した状態とは、内容物を容器内に封入した状態であって、内容物を50℃、14日間の条件下で保存した場合の、内容物の質量の減少量が1質量%未満である状態を指す。
保存後粘度から保存前粘度を差し引いた値を、粘度増加度として算出した。粘度増加度が小さいほど、保存安定性に優れる。評価基準は以下のとおりである。
5:粘度増加度が、0.3mPa・s未満であった。
4:粘度増加度が、0.3mPa・s以上0.5mPa・s未満であった。
3:粘度増加度が、0.5mPa・s以上1.0mPa・s未満であった。
2:粘度増加度が、1.0mPa・s以上2.0mPa・s未満であった。
1:粘度増加度が、2.0mPa・s以上であった。
上記画像記録と同様の方法で、非浸透性基材Aに文字画像が記録された画像記録物を得た。文字画像として、図1に示す文字(Unicode:U+9DF9)を、4pt、6pt、8pt、及び10ptで出力した。ここで、ptはフォントサイズを表すDTPポイントを意味し、1ptは1/72inchである。
画像記録物上の各文字画像を観察し、再現可能であるか否かを判定することにより、文字品質を評価した。「再現可能」とは、0.5m離れた場所から確認した場合に、図1に記載の文字画像において、図1に記載の11で表された横線と、図1に記載の12で表された横線とが、分離されていることを意味する。評価基準は以下のとおりである。
評価結果を表1及び表2に示す。
4:6pt文字が再現可能であったが、4ptの文字は再現できなかった。
3:8pt文字が再現可能であったが、6pt以下の文字は再現できなかった。
2:10pt文字が再現可能であったが、8pt以下の文字は再現できなかった。
1:10pt文字が再現できなかった。
