    Abstract: The present invention relates to [1] a water-based ink containing water-insoluble polymer particles (A), an organic solvent (B) and water, in which a polymer constituting the water-insoluble polymer particles (A) is in the form of a crosslinked polymer; the organic solvent (B) contains a polyhydric alcohol ether; and a rate of change in viscosity of the organic solvent (B) as calculated according to the formula (1) is not more than 140%, and [2] a printing method of printing characters or images on a printing medium using the water-based ink described in the above [1], in which a water absorption of the printing medium per a unit surface area thereof as measured by contacting the printing medium with pure water for 100 milliseconds is not less than 0 g/m2 and not more than 10 g/m2.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a water-based ink containing at least pigment-containing water-insoluble crosslinked polymer particles (A), a polymer emulsion (B) and water, in which a water-insoluble crosslinked polymer constituting the crosslinked polymer particles (A) is obtained by subjecting a polymer that contains a constitutional unit derived from a carboxylic acid monomer having an acid value of not less than 200 mgKOH/g and a constitutional unit derived from a hydrophobic monomer, to crosslinking reaction with an epoxy compound, and a polymer constituting the polymer emulsion (B) contains a constitutional unit derived from a carboxylic acid monomer and a constitutional unit derived from a hydrophobic monomer. The water-based ink of the present invention is excellent in ejection stability and fastness of the printed characters or images while maintaining good optical density.
