Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a maintenance method of ink jet recorder, and an ink jet recorder using it, in which a stabilized recording state can be sustained well for a long term without increasing the size or the cost of the recorder even if an insoluble component is produced when the ink jet recorder is not used for a long term. SOLUTION: The maintenance method of an ink jet recorder employing an ink set of cyan, yellow and magenta inks where an insoluble component is produced when a component evaporated from at least one ink is dissolved into other ink comprises a step for discharging the insoluble component at least partially or entirely independently from an external signal.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high-quality multicolor image of which the colored inks exhibit almost the same discoloration ΔE after long-time storage, the color balance after long-time storage is destroyed little, and the bleed between a pigment-containing black ink and a color ink is moderated. SOLUTION: An ink set is provided which comprises a black ink containing an aqueous medium and a pigment dispersed therein by the action of an ionic group and at least two color inks each containing a colorant and an aqueous medium. Each of the color inks gives such as image that its light discoloration, expressed by ΔE in a CIELAB color space display system, differs from that of images given by other color inks by 10 or lower. The ΔE is obtained by a light resistance test under such conditions as to cause the discoloration equivalent to that caused by sunlight exposure through a window in a pseudoroom for at least 3 years. At least one color ink contains at least either a colorant or an additive unstabilizing the dispersion of the pigment in the black ink.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely replenish ink to an ink tank by a simple constitution, and make a recorder compact, light-weight and improved in reliability. SOLUTION: Ink can be taken into the ink tank 20 through an ink intake port 20b by a negative pressure introduced inside the ink tank from a total suction port 53. A suction port of each ink tank 20 is provided with a gas transmission member 48 which passes a gas without passing the ink, and an ink replenishment device part 3 whereby the ink can be taken into the ink tank 20 from the ink intake port by the negative pressure introduced inside via the gas transmission member 48. The gas transmission member 48 communicates with the atmosphere except when the ink is taken into the ink tank.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely supply ink into an ink tank by a simplified composition, downsize and lighten a recording unit, and enhance the reliability of the recording unit. SOLUTION: When the ink tank 20 is to be fully filled with ink, the ink is brought into contact with a gas transmission member 48. The ink tank 20 is tilted after the termination of the complete filling of the ink. Consequently, the ink is kept from contact with the member 48.
