Disclosed herein is an ink-jet recording process for forming an image by applying an ink to a recording medium in accordance with an ink-jet recording system, comprising the steps of: (A) applying an ink containing a coloring material to the recording medium in accordance with the ink-jet recording system; and (B) applying a liquid composition different from the ink to an ink-applying region of the recording medium in accordance with the ink-jet recording system, wherein the liquid composition is applied in an amount less than 50% by volume of the amount of the ink to be applied to the ink-applying area.

An improved medium for ink jet recording is disclosed. Apart from a pigment and an optional binder, the ink receiving layer contains a film-forming latex being a polymer containing repeating units derived from a particular monomer type. Preferred monomers are vinyl ester monomers most preferably derived from versatic acid. The medium is particularly suited for outdoor use.

Pigment suitable for use in coating compositions for inkjet recording media. Surfaces of an inorganic particulate are interacted with a water-soluble polyvalent metal salt in an aqueous medium. The treated particle surfaces have a significant cationic surface charge imparted to them. The salt is a salt of a metal of Group II or Group III of the Periodic Table. Inkjet recording media treated with a coating composition containing the above pigment provide high density, fast-drying, and non-feathering ink images with suitable water fastness, while the coating compositions also offer cost advantages and improved rheology at higher pigment levels over coatings based on silica pigments.

Specific PEHAM dendrimers are used in a formulation with an active agent for agricultural purposes, particularly for increasing the efficacy of the active agent in various ways, such as by improving solubility of the active agent in the formulation, by improving adhesion and penetration of the active agent to plant surfaces, by improving the water-fastness of the active agent to the plant or seed, by increasing soil penetration of the active agent to reach the plant roots or under soil parts, or by reducing soil adhesion of the active agent to reach the plant roots or under soil parts, or reducing enzymatic degradation of the active agent by the plant or seed or microorganisms in the soil.

(Wherein, y denotes an integer number of 2 to 6 and w denotes an integer number of 1 to 4)]

or a salt thereof, and an ink composition containing it; it shows a hue having high vividness suitable for inkjet recording and provides a recorded matter having high water fastness, and the ink composition prepared using it is excellent in storage stability.

The present invention relates to anisotropic colorants and ink-jet ink compositions that comprise the anisotropic colorants. These anisotropic colorants are highly stable and can be designed to provide enhanced chroma, gloss, gloss uniformity, smearfastness, print quality, drytime, and improved resistance to water when applied to a media. Moreover, inks formulated with these new colorants are useful in ink-jet printing, including thermal ink jet printing, piezoelectric ink jet printing, and continuous ink jet printing.
