Abstract:
An ink composition is an ink composition including titanium dioxide particles, metal oxide particles, a dispersant, and water, in which an average particle diameter of the titanium dioxide particles is 100 nm or greater, an average particle diameter of the metal oxide particles is smaller than the average particle diameter of the titanium dioxide particles, and the metal oxide particles are oxide particles of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of zirconium, aluminum, silicon, zinc, and iron.
Abstract:
An ink set includes a first ink composition containing water, a dispersant, a colorant, and an ampholyte; and a second ink composition containing water, a colorant, and a resin containing an unneutralized acid group.
Abstract:
Provided are an aqueous pigment dispersion including: water; a water-soluble organic solvent; a pigment; a polymer dispersant including 20 mass % to 60 mass % of a constitutional unit a-1 represented by Formula 1 with respect to the total mass of the polymer dispersant, 10 mass % to 40 mass % of a constitutional unit a-2 represented by Formula 2 with respect to the total mass of the polymer dispersant, and a constitutional unit a-3 having an acidic group; and an amine compound represented by Formula 3, and an aqueous ink composition using the aqueous pigment dispersion.
Abstract:
A pigment composition including at least one pigment selected from the group consisting of a perinone-based pigment and a perylene-based pigment, water, a resin having a constitutional unit represented by Formula 1, and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a phthalimide compound having a carboxyalkyl group and a naphthalimide compound having a carboxyalkyl group; a method for producing thereof; and an aqueous ink composition using the pigment composition. In Formula 1, R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, L2 represents —C(═O)O—, —OC(═O)—, or —C(═O)NR2— and R2 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and R3 represents an alkyl group having 6 or more carbon atoms.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a pigment dispersion and a method of producing the pigment dispersion. The pigment dispersion includes: water; a pigment; a pigment dispersing polymer; and a rosin acid that includes at least one selected from the group consisting of abietic acid, salts of abietic acid, dihydroabietic acid and salts of dihydroabietic acid, and a total content of abietic acid, salts of abietic acid, dihydroabietic acid and salts of dihydroabietic acid is 50% by mass or higher with respect to a total mass of the rosin acid contained in the pigment dispersion. The pigment dispersion is excellent in terms of dispersibility, storage stability after dispersion, and jettability when used for an inkjet recording ink.
Abstract:
Provided are a method for producing an aqueous inkjet pigment dispersion, including producing a mixed liquid of water, a pigment, a pigment dispersing polymer, and rosin acid in an amount of from 3% by mass to 30% by mass relative to the total mass of the pigment, and reducing the amount of rosin acid included in the produced mixed liquid, to less than 3.0% by mass relative to the total mass of the pigment; an aqueous inkjet pigment dispersion; and an aqueous inkjet ink.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an ink composition having excellent jetting stability, which contains water, a cross-liked polymer-coated pigment in which at least a portion of a surface of the pigment is covered with a cross-liked polymer, a free polymer that is not bound to the cross-liked polymer-coated pigment, and at least one divalent metal ion in an amount of from 30 ppm to 200 ppm with respect to the total mass of the ink composition, and an ink set and an image forming method using the same, which are excellent in jetting stability.
