preparation example Construction

[0074] The preparation method of the ink composition of the present invention is to fully mix and dissolve each component, pressurize and filter through a membrane filter with a pore size of 0.8 μm, and then use a vacuum pump to conduct air extraction to prepare.

[0075] The present invention can provide an ink cartridge comprising at least the aforementioned ink composition. By using the ink cartridge of the present invention, the transportation of the ink can be easily performed, and the operation can be simplified. The ink can improve the indoor storage (air resistance) of the formed image, and effectively prevent the early change and fading of the image.

[0076] Next, the recording method of the present invention using the above-mentioned ink composition will be described. The recording method of the present invention is particularly suitable for the inkjet recording method. In this recording method, the ink composition is discharged from the micropores in the form of dro...

Abstract

An ink composition which contains a metal phthalocyanine type cyan dye and can give an image having improved indoor storage stability (gas resistance). The ink composition comprises water, a metal phthalocyanine type cyan dye, and a sulfo-containing aromatic compound and / or a salt thereof which each is represented by the following general formula (1) and / or (2). Also provided are: a method of ink-jet recording comprising ejecting droplets of an ink composition and adhering the droplets to a recording medium to conduct recording, wherein the ink composition to be used is the ink composition described above; and a print characterized by being obtained by recording with that ink composition. (Chemical formula 1) (In the formula, M<1> represents a counter ion as a component of the salt; X is an integer of 1 to 3; and R<1> and R<2> may be the same or different and each represents hydrogen, C1-6 alkyl, or C1-6 alkoxy.) (Chemical formula 2) (In the formula, M<2> represents a counter ion as a component of the salt; Y is an integer of 1 to 4; and R<3> and R<4> may be the same or different and each represents hydrogen, C1-6 alkyl, or C1-6 alkoxy.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an ink composition capable of improving the indoor preservation (air resistance) of an image formed, and more specifically, to an ink composition containing a metal phthalocyanine cyan dye that can effectively prevent image change and fading . Background technique [0002] Currently, ink compositions containing metal phthalocyanine-based cyan dyes are widely used as ink compositions for developing images such as excellent cyan colors. Recently, the application of forming an image by using an ink composition for developing such an image in combination with one or two or more ink compositions for developing other colors, and combining the resulting multi-color The composed image (color image) is displayed indoors or the like. [0003] However, in ink compositions using such metal phthalocyanine cyan dyes, due to the resistance of metal phthalocyanine cyan dyes to oxidizing gases such as ozone, nitrogen oxides, and sulfu...
