摘要:
A process for producing an ink composition is disclosed which can provide an ink composition that is less likely to create feathering or bleeding and can provide an increased dot diameter in a reduced amount of the ink ejected. According to the process, a pigment, a dispersant, water, and an alkyl ether derivative, with 3 or more carbon atoms, of a polyhydric alcohol and/or an acetylene glycol compound represented by the following formula (I): wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 each independently represent an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; and n and m are an integer, provided that the sum of n and m is 0 to 30, are dispersed in one another by means of a dispergator to prepare a dispersion which is then used to prepare an ink. The ink composition thus prepared is less likely to cause feathering or bleeding and can realize a large dot diameter in a reduced amount of the ink ejected, as compared with an ink composition prepared by first preparing a dispersion from a pigment and a dispersant and then adding an alkyl ether derivative, with 3 or more carbon atoms, of a polyhydric alcohol and/or an acetylene glycol compound represented by the following formula (I) to the dispersion.
摘要:
A yellow ink composition comprising C.I. Pigment Yellow 74 is provided which possesses excellent properties, especially excellent lightfastness. The yellow ink composition comprises a pigment C.I. Pigment Yellow 74 and a styrene-(meth)acrylic acid-based, water-soluble resin in an amount of not less than 0.4 part by weight in terms of solid content based on the pigment.

An ink composition for ink jet recording, ink composition set, ink cartridge, ink jet recording apparatus and ink jet recording process is disclosed, which can give a highly colored and high quality recorded image without causing color bleeding and feathering with a high reliability in recovery from clogging in ink jet recording. The ink composition comprises (A) a colorant, (B) an alginate, (C) a liquid wetting agent, (D) a penetrant, and (E) water. As the foregoing liquid wetting agent component (C) there is contained glycerin in an amount of not less than 8% by weight based on the weight of the composition.
