    Abstract: A recording head recovery system includes a recording head, a cleaning liquid tank for storing cleaning liquid, a cleaning liquid supplying path which connects together the cleaning liquid tank and the recording head, a liquid supply mechanism which is provided in the cleaning liquid supplying path, and a controller. The controller performs recording head recovery operation including cleaning liquid supplying operation for supplying the cleaning liquid from liquid supplying openings of the recording head, wiping operation for wiping an ink ejection face of the recording head while a wiper retains the cleaning liquid, and backflow operation for controlling the liquid supply mechanism to make the cleaning liquid in the cleaning liquid supplying path to flow from the cleaning liquid supplying openings to the cleaning liquid tank.

    Abstract: An ink for ink-jet recording apparatuses includes water, a pigment dispersion, an organic solvent, and a humectant. The pigment dispersion includes a pigment and a resin having a weight average molecular weight of from 35,000 to 140,000. An adsorbed resin proportion determined from the mass of a total amount of resin in the ink and the amount of resin separated from pigment among the resin is at least 0.97. And, the ink contains from 3% to 15% by mass of C1-C4 monoalkyl ether of polyhydric alcohol based on the mass of the ink as the organic solvent.

    Abstract: An inkjet recording apparatus includes an ink, a circulation type recording head, a damper member that supplies the ink to the circulation type recording head, and an ink supply unit that supplies the ink to the damper member. The circulation type recording head ejects to a recording medium at least a portion of the ink supplied from the damper member and discharges the rest of the ink to the ink supply unit. The ink supply unit includes a relief mechanism. The relief mechanism adjusts the pressure of the ink supplied to the damper member to a level no greater than a predetermined value. The ink contains a pigment, binder resin particles, and an aqueous medium. The binder resin particles have a zeta potential of at least −60.0 mV and no greater than −45.0 mV.

    Abstract: An inkjet ink set includes an undercoat liquid and one or more inkjet inks. The undercoat liquid contains first binder resin particles, a first aqueous medium, and a first surfactant. The one or more inkjet inks each contain a second pigment, second binder resin particles, a second aqueous medium, and a second surfactant. At a temperature of 20° C., a density ρ1 of the undercoat liquid and a density ρ2 of an inkjet ink of the one or more inkjet inks that has the highest density among those of the one or more inkjet inks satisfy a relationship represented by formula (1): ρ1−ρ2>0.05 g/cm3 . . .
