Abstract:
Disclosed is an aqueous ink containing water, a water-insoluble colorant and a plurality of water-soluble organic solvents. The water-soluble organic solvents contain a good solvent and poor solvent for the water-insoluble colorant in a specific ratio, and the water-soluble solvent having the largest Ka value among the water-soluble organic solvents is a poor solvent. When such an aqueous ink is in contact with a specific reactive liquid, the dissolution state or dispersion state of the water-insoluble colorant in the ink is destabilized, thereby having a sufficiently large area factor even with a small amount of ink droplet and enabling to obtain an image which is excellent in the image density, bleed resistance and fixability. This aqueous ink is also excellent in shelf life stability.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
A reaction solution that is used for image recording with an ink containing a coloring material in a dissolved or dispersed state to destabilize the dissolved or dispersed state of the coloring material in the ink in contact with the ink to provide high quality and abrasion-resistant images, wherein the reaction solution contains at least a polyvalent metal ion and a nonionic polymer, the Ka value according to the Bristow method is from 1.3 mL.m .msec to 3.0 mL.m .msec inclusive, and the viscosity is from 20 mPa.s to 150 mPa.s inclusive.

Abstract:
Water color ink which enables stable inkject recording without depending on a printing environment and the formation of an image having a practically uniform anti-abrasion feature, is free from image stain even at double-side recording and improved in obscurity of the outline portion of an image, and can produce a high-grade image with no color bleeding. Water color ink used in a system for forming an image using water color ink including a reaction liquid containing at least a polyvalent metal and a pigment dispersed element in which a pigment is dispersed by at least an anionic polymer dispersant, characterized in that specific conditions are met.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a cyan ink used for an ink set comprising a plurality of aqueous inks respectively containing at least water, a water-insoluble colorant and a plurality of water-soluble organic solvents including a good solvent for the water-insoluble colorant and a poor solvent for the water-insoluble colorant. The ratio between the good solvent and the poor solvent contained in the cyan ink is within a specific range, and the water-soluble solvent having the largest Ka value among the water-soluble organic solvents is a poor solvent. In addition, the ratio between the good solvent and the poor solvent contained in an arbitrary aqueous ink other than the cyan ink in the ink set and the ratio between the good solvent and the poor solvent in the cyan ink satisfy a certain relation.
