摘要:
Provided is a colored resin fine particle water base dispersion liquid which can be a base material for an ink causing no precipitates and having storage stability. Further provided is a water base ink composition for an ink jet recording apparatus or a water base ink composition for a writing tool capable of providing recorded images or written characters and drawn lines which are clear and neither are blurred nor disappear due to water and sweat and which are so excellent in light fastness that they are not deteriorated over a long period of time, wherein the colored resin fine particle water base dispersion liquid is produced by mixing a water soluble basic dye with a mixed vinyl monomer containing a vinyl monomer having an acid functional group and emulsion-copolymerizing the above mixture.
