The invention discloses a color ink-jet
printing ink and a preparation method thereof. The color ink-jet
printing ink comprises the following components in parts by weight: 60-80 parts of deionized water, 8-12 parts of
triethanolamine, 5-10 parts of a water-soluble organic
wetting agent, 6-8 parts of a
wetting binder, 6-8 parts of a cellosolve, 5-7 parts of
acrylic resin, 4-6 parts of a colorant, 0.2-0.4 part of a surfactant, 0.1-0.2 part of a
preservative and 0.01-0.02 part of a
drying agent, wherein the colorant is
metal complex dye; the
drying agent is selected from
ethanol,
isopropyl alcohol or 1-cyclohexyl-2-pyrrolidone; the water-soluble organic
wetting agent is 1,2-
propanediol, glycerine,
ethylene glycol, diglycol,
triethylene glycol or
sorbitol; the wetting binding agent is 2-pyrrolidone,
sodium sorbate,
polyvinyl pyrrolidone or
potassium sorbate. The color ink-jet
printing ink is safe, environment-friendly, excellent in definition of a printed image, moderate in
surface tension,
viscosity and electrical
conductivity, capable of clearly imaging on a printing stock medium without a
coating, excellent in ink smoothness, unlikely to block an ink-jet printer ink gun, good in
water resistance and photostability, and free of
corrosion of a printer.
