摘要:
Provided is an ink composition that can form a high-quality image free from bleeding or beading even on printing paper or off-set printing paper such as art paper, in particular, even in a case of low-resolution printing, and is excellent in the property of recovering from clogging even after having been left under environment of high temperature and low humidity. The ink composition for ink jet recording includes at least a coloring material, water, a slightly water-soluble alkanediol, and a polyalkylene glycol.
摘要:
A magenta ink that excels in the color reproduction in a region of high color saturation and low lightness, reducing the possibility of clogging in inkjet recording heads, and that also exhibits enhanced luster; and an ink set for inkjet recording, including this ink. There is provided a magenta ink composition wherein with respect to a ≤ 10,000-fold dilute aqueous solution, when the a*-value according to CIE standard calculated from visual absorption spectrum is 80, the relevant b*-value is ≤ -29. Further, there is provided a magenta ink composition wherein with respect to a dilute aqueous solution of 2×10-3 g/l pigment content, the a*-value according to CIE standard calculated from visual absorption spectrum is preferably ≥ 7. Still further, there is provided an ink set including such an ink composition. Moreover, there is provided a magenta ink composition wherein with respect to a ≤ 10,000-fold dilute aqueous solution, when the a*-value according to CIE standard calculated from visual absorption spectrum is 80, the relevant b*-value is in the range of -38 to -29; and provided a magenta ink composition wherein with respect to a dilute aqueous solution of 2×10-3 g/l pigment content, the a*-value according to CIE standard calculated from visual absorption spectrum is preferably ≥ 5; and provided an ink set including such an ink composition.
