摘要:
An ink set is provided which can prevent the occurrence of a new color mixing phenomenon in which a different ink comes into the insides of particular ink channels. The ink set is constituted of plurality of inks. The plurality of inks constituting the ink set is stored respectively in ink cartridges each having an ink storage portion which is brought into a hermetically-closed state. The difference in specific gravity between a first ink having the largest specific gravity and a second ink having the smallest specific gravity among the inks constituting the ink set is less than 0.020.

A recording head and a recording unit are provided achieving both the reliability of ejection stability and storage stability and the prevention of a new color mixing phenomenon. The recording head has ejection orifice lines each of which ejects each of the inks constituting an ink set. The plurality of inks is stored respectively in ink cartridges each having an ink storage portion being brought into a hermetically-closed state. At least three types of inks among the inks are different in specific gravity from one another, and at least two types of inks among the at least three types of inks are different in specific gravity by 0.020 or more. The ejection orifice lines are arranged so that the total sum of differences in specific gravities between the inks to be ejected from ejection orifice lines adjacent to each other among the inks to be ejected from the ejection orifice lines becomes minimal.

摘要:
An aqueous ink, by which stable ink-jet recording can be conducted irrespective of printing environment, a substantially even image having abrasion resistance can be formed, no image soiling is caused even upon double-side printing, and a high-quality image improved in unclearness at a contour portion of the image and free from occurrence of color bleed can be provided, is provided. The aqueous ink is an aqueous ink used in a system that a reaction liquid containing at least a polyvalent metal and an aqueous ink containing at least a pigment dispersion, in which a pigment is dispersed with an anionic polymer dispersant, are used to form an image, wherein the aqueous ink satisfies specific condition.

Disclosed is an aqueous ink comprising at least water, a plurality of water-soluble organic solvents and a coloring material. The coloring material is a pigment, and, it contains a pigment particle having at least one ionic group bonded to a surface of the pigment particle directly or via another atomic group. The plurality of water-soluble organic solvents have a good medium or good mediums for the pigment and a poor medium or poor mediums for the pigment. The poor medium does not solvate perfectly or substantially the pigment. The ionic group undergoes perfectly or substantially no ionic dissociation in the poor medium. Also, among the respective Ka values of the plurality of water-soluble organic solvents as determined by the Bristow method, the Ka value of the poor medium is maximum.
摘要:
The present invention aims to provide an ink which has a sufficiently large area factor even in a small ink droplet quantity and can obtain images having a high image density, and further has a superior storage stability. According to the present invention, a cyan ink is provided which is used in an ink set having four kinds of aqueous inks consisting of a cyan ink, a magenta ink, a yellow ink and a black ink in which each ink comprises at least water, a water-insoluble coloring material, and a plurality of water-soluble organic solvents having a good medium or good mediums for the water-insoluble coloring material and a poor medium or poor mediums for the water-insoluble coloring material, wherein, the ratio B1/A1 is from 0.5 or more to 3.0 or less, where A1 denotes the total content (mass %) of the good medium based on the total mass of the cyan ink and B1 denotes the total content (mass %) of the poor medium based on the total mass of the cyan ink, and a water-soluble organic solvent which shows the maximum Ka value among the respective Ka values of the plurality of water-soluble organic solvents as determined by the Bristow method is the poor medium.

An aqueous ink comprises water, a water-insoluble coloring material, and plurality of water-soluble organic solvents and the plurality of water-soluble organic solvents including a good medium or good mediums for the water-insoluble coloring material and a poor medium or poor mediums for the water-insoluble coloring material. The ratio of the content of the poor medium and the content of the good medium is in a specific range. A water-soluble organic solvent showing the maximum Ka value out of respective Ka values of the plurality of water-soluble organic solvents is the poor medium. When the aqueous ink is in contact with a specific reaction liquid, the dissolution state or dispersed state of the water-insoluble coloring material in the ink is made unstable. As a result, an image which has a sufficiently large area factor even with a small amount of ink droplets and is excellent in image density, bleeding resistance, and fixability can be obtained. In addition, the aqueous ink is excellent in storage stability.
