The content of the polyvalent metal ion in the reaction liquid is 10.0 times or more in terms of molar ratio as much as an amount of an acidic group derived from the water-soluble resin in the ink and the content of the surfactant in the reaction liquid is 0.15 times or more in terms of mass ratio as much as the total content of the pigment and water-soluble resin in the ink. | 10-25-2012 |
20120268532 | INK, INK CARTRIDGE, AND INK JET RECORDING METHOD - Provided is an ink jet ink including a monoazo pigment and a resin, the ink being used for an ink jet recording system in which the ink is ejected from a recording head by an action of thermal energy. The monoazo pigment is a self-dispersible pigment having an anionic group bonded to a particle surface of the pigment directly or via another atomic group and has a surface charge amount of 5.9×10 | 10-25-2012 |
20130027476 | INK, INK CARTRIDGE AND INK JET RECORDING METHOD - The invention provides an ink that inhibits lowering of ejection stability caused by a precipitate derived from a self-dispersible type monoazo pigment and also inhibits deterioration of a liquid contact surface of a heater portion of a recording head. The ink is an ink for ink jet recording system employing an thermal energy, containing a monoazo pigment, a resin and a surfactant represented by the following formula (1). A proportion of a molecular weight of an ethylene oxide group moiety occupying the surfactant is 10% or more and 85% or less, the monoazo pigment is a self-dispersible pigment to the particle surface of which at least one hydrophilic group selected from the group consisting of —COOM, —SO | 01-31-2013 |
20150184008 | INK SET AND INK JET RECORDING METHOD - An ink jet ink set including three aqueous inks of a cyan ink, a magenta ink and a yellow ink, wherein any two inks of the cyan ink, the magenta ink and the yellow ink are inks satisfying the following condition A, and the other ink is an ink satisfying the following condition B:
