摘要:
A water base ink for ink-jet recording contains self-dispersible carbon black as a coloring agent. The total content of an organic acid having a number of carbon or carbons of 1 to 6 and a salt of the organic acid is not more than 400 ppm. The organic acid having a number of carbon or carbons of 1 to 6 includes monocarboxylic acid, dicarboxylic acid and oxy acid, and the salt of the organic acid includes salts of these acids. When the water base ink is used in an ink-jet recording apparatus, the discharge stability of the ink is improved.

The water-based ink set for ink-jet recording includes a magenta ink and a red ink with dynamic surface tensions thereof satisfying the following inequalities (IM), (IIM), (IIIM) and (IVM) σ30M≦about 49 mN/m (IM) σ30M+σ30R≦about 100 mN/m (IIM) wherein σ30M is the dynamic surface tension of the magenta ink at a lifetime of 30 ms and σ30R is the dynamic surface tension of the red ink at a lifetime of 30 ms, σ1000R≧about 36 mN/m (IIIM) σ1000M+σ10000R≧about 70 mN/m (IVM) wherein σ1000 M is the dynamic surface tension of the magenta ink at a lifetime of 1,000 ms and σ1000R is the dynamic surface tension of the red ink at a lifetime of 1,000 ms).
摘要:
A water based ink set for ink-jet recording includes a yellow ink, a magenta ink, a cyan ink, a black ink, and a red ink and/or a blue ink each including at least a coloring agent, water and a water soluble organic solvent. In the water based ink set, a water soluble dye is employed as the coloring agent of each of the yellow ink, the magenta ink and the cyan ink, and a pigment is employed as the coloring agent of each of the black ink and the red ink and/or the blue ink. In an ink-jet recording method employing the water based ink set for ink-jet recording, the red ink and the magenta ink are employed together for a magenta-ink-recording portion, and the blue ink and the cyan ink are employed together for a cyan-ink-recording portion.
摘要:
A water base ink set for ink-jet recording comprises a first ink which contains an anionic dye, and a second ink which contains a cationic dye. At least one of the first and second inks contains at least two glycols selected from the group consisting of diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, and polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and water. The ink set makes it possible to stably discharge the ink by means of an ink-jet head, and it realizes vivid recording which is highly reliable and highly accurate and which provides good color balance.
摘要:
An ink for ink-jet recording contains tripropylene glycol normal butyl ether or dipropylene glycol normal propyl ether, an acrylic polymer, a water-insoluble coloring agent, and water. The ink simultaneously satisfies the straight travel stability of ink droplets during the discharge with an ink-jet recording apparatus, the recovery performance upon introduction into a recording head of the ink-jet recording apparatus, the fixation performance of printed matters, and the drying performance after the printing.
摘要:
An ink cartridge for ink-jet recording apparatus includes an ink tank usable in an ink-jet recording apparatus and a water base ink filled in the ink tank. In the ink cartridge, the ink tank is formed of polyolefin containing a sorbitol derivative as a crystal-nucleating agent, and the pH of the water base ink filled in the tank has been adjusted to be not less than 4.0 to less than 8.0. This makes it is possible to prevent the sorbitol derivative, contained in the polyolefin as the crystal-nucleating agent, from depositing in the water base ink filled in the ink tank.
摘要:
An ink for ink-jet recording is provided, in which an amount of water X (% by weight) in the ink and a saturation viscosity Y satisfy Y≦4.5e0.09X. The saturation viscosity Y is a viscosity (mPa·s) obtained when an ink residual liquid, which is obtained by evaporating volatile components of the ink until a change in weight of the ink is less than 0.05 g/day per 50 g of ink under a condition of a temperature of 60° C. and a humidity of 40%, is cooled to a temperature of 25° C. in an environment of a humidity of 40%. X satisfies 50≦X≦75. The ink exhibits satisfactory jetting stability when the ink is normally used. Further, the ink is easily restored to give a normal jetting state even after undergoing an abnormal condition, for example, when the ink is left to stand without any nozzle cap.
摘要:
A water-based magenta ink composition comprises an aqueous medium and a magenta dye dissolved therein, which employs Color Index Number Acid Red 52 as the magenta dye and contains 5 to 15% by weight of a polyhydric alcohol alkyl ether having a vapor pressure of 0.1 mmHg or below at 20.degree. C.
