摘要:
The invention provides an aqueous pigment ink composition that ensures excellent recording characteristics on any type of recording mediums. An aqueous pigment ink composition of the invention includes a pigment, a water-dispersible polymer, water, and a water-soluble organic solvent, where the pigment is dispersed as primary particles having an average primary particle diameter of not greater than 50 nm and as secondary particles having a ratio of an average secondary particle diameter to the average primary particle diameter in a range of 1 to 10, and the water-dispersible polymer has a minimum glass transition temperature of lower than 100° C. Using this polymer ensures good dispersion stability and favorable glossiness on a glossy medium.

This invention provides an water-base ink achieving high print quality on plain, recycled, and coated paper, glossiness on glossy paper, as well as well-balanced gas fastness, and an water-base ink set which exhibits low light source dependence with regard to the colors of resultant printed matter. This invention is an water-base ink comprising a pigment, a surfactant and/or a penetrating organic solvent, and water, wherein the pigment is a copper phthalocyanine pigment substituted with eight or less chlorine atoms; the surfactant is an acetylene glycol surfactant and/or an acetylene alcohol type surfactant; and the penetrating organic solvent is one or more selected from the group consisting of di(tri)ethylene glycol monobutyl ether and/or (di)propylene glycol monobutyl ether, and 1,2-allylene glycol. This invention is also an water-base ink set comprising the water-base ink, a magenta ink and a yellow ink.

For the purpose of providing an ink for inkjet recording that allows substantially bleed-free printing to be performed on plain paper, and particularly recycled paper, and providing an inkjet ink capable of ensuring high print quality and maintaining high ejection stability on plain paper, recycled paper, and coated paper, the present invention provides an inkjet ink comprising, together with a coloring material and water, a nonionic substance that has acetylene bonds in the molecules thereof and that also has hydroxyl groups and/or alkylene oxide repeating structures (preferably a substance whose structure is shown by formula (IA) according to claim 2, a substance whose structure is shown by formula (I) according to claim 20, or the like), and a nonionic substance that has lipophilic units comprising alkyl groups or cycloalkyl groups and that also has alkylene oxide repeating structures (preferably a substance whose structure is shown by formula (IIA) according to claim 2, a substance whose structure is shown by formula (II) according to claim 20, or the like).
摘要:
An ink jet recording ink set including a plurality of inks, each ink including at least a colorant encapsulating a pigment with a polymer, a penetrating agent and water, wherein the ink set includes a combination of black, yellow, magenta and cyan inks, and wherein the polymer in each of the black, yellow, magenta and cyan inks is a polymer of a polymerizable surface active agent and a monomer, which gives high color density printed image, satisfactory color reproducibility, excellent ejection stability and storage stability.
摘要:
An ink jet recording ink is disclosed which can realize feathering- or bleeding-free, waterfast recording on plain paper, recycled paper, and recording media having a surface gloss layer. The ink composition comprises a pigment, a glycol ether, a water-soluble emulsion, and water, the pigment being dispersible and/or soluble in water without a dispersant, the glycol ether being one member or a mixture of at least two members selected from a group consisting of diethylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether, triethylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether, propylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether, and dipropylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether.
