An ink composition capable of offering a combination of a high-quality image with a waterfast image is provided. More specifically, an ink composition is provided which, by virtue of a combination of particular dyes, can faithfully reproduce black color, realize a high-quality image (a sharp image having a high optical density and free from bleed) also on plain paper and, at the same time, offer rapid ink fixation and waterfastness and lightfastness of the printed image. Dyes represented by the following formula (I) are used as a fundamental dye and further combined with a plurality of dyes to constitute the ink composition: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents --PO(OM).sub.2 or --COOM, X and Y each independently represent an alkoxy and M represents a cation of a group selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal, ammonia, and an organic amine.

An ink composition is provided which enables high-quality recording on plain paper and can record an image having excellent water resistance. The ink composition comprises a dye represented by the following formula (I): ##STR1## wherein M represents an unsubstituted or substituted ammonium, R.sup.1 represents COOM, R.sup.2 represents --P(=O)n--(OM).sub.2, where n is 0 or 1, R.sup.3 represents SO.sub.3 M, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 independently represent H, an alkyl group, or an alkoxyl group, R.sup.6 represents H, a phenyl group which may be substituted, an alkylcarbonyl group, or an alkyl group which may be substituted with a hydroxyl or alkoxyl group, and m is 0 or 1.
摘要:
Provided is a black ink composition containing a pigment, wherein the value calculated from the average particle diameter and the particle size distribution width of the pigment and the ink viscosity is regulated within a certain range, and the number of coarse particles contained in the ink composition is regulated to a certain value or less. The ink composition is excellent in ink storage stability and can give an image realized with good balance between color development, in particular, in high-speed printing and inhibition of a time-dependent change in printing density due to pigment sedimentation.

An ink composition includes at least a pigment, a polyhydric alcohol monoalkyl ether having a vapor pressure of 0.1 mmHg or less at 20° C. and/or a nitrogen-containing cyclic compound, a polyhydric alcohol, an unsaturated fatty acid, an alkyl alcohol having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a surfactant, and 10% to 60% by mass of water. An in jet recording method uses the ink composition, and a recorded matter is produced by the ink jet recording method.
摘要:
Objects of the present invention include providing composite metallic thin filmy particles for conductive inks and a conductive ink, both allowing the production of highly conductive substrates with simpler equipment and at a lower cost, providing a method for making such a conductive substrate, and providing such a conductive substrate.The present invention includes Step 1 for coating a surface of a base material sheet with a composite metallic thin film layer that contains at least one of a resin layer and a wax layer and at least one of a metal layer and a metal compound layer and Step 2 for removing the composite metallic thin film layer from the sheet. The resultant composite metallic thin filmy particles and conductive ink can be used in a conductive substrate producing apparatus, formed into a pattern on the conductive substrate by screen printing, an ink jet method, or some other liquid-based process.
