Abstract

A recording ink which has excellent storage stability, is improved in delivery stability especially during continuous delivery or after delivery stopping, and can give a high-quality image reduced in ink running. The recording ink comprises a colorant, surfactant, penetrant, and antifoaming agent. It contains coarse particles with a particle diameter of 0.5 µm or larger in an amount of 3.0 x 10<7> (per 5 µL), and the proportion of particles with a particle diameter of 1 to 5 µm, excluding 5 µm, in those coarse particles is up to 1% by number. Preferred embodiments include: one in which the colorant comprises a pigment which has at least one hydrophilic group and is water-dispersible or water-soluble in the absence of a dispersant; one in which the surfactant comprises at least one member selected among polyoxyethylene alkyl ether surfactants and polyoxyethylene alkyl ether acetate surfactants; one in which the penetrant comprises at least either of 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol and 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol; and one in which the antifoaming agent is one selected among silicone antifoaming agents.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a recording ink suitable for recording in an inkjet recording method, a method for preparing the same, an ink cartridge using the recording ink, an ink-recorded object, an inkjet recording device, and an inkjet recording method. Background technique [0002] Ink-jet printers employing the ink-jet recording method have been rapidly popularized in recent years because they can print on plain paper, are easy to color, are compact and inexpensive, and have low operating costs. In general, the properties required for recording inks that can be used in inkjet recording methods include color tone, image density, bleeding (bleeding) and the like in order to achieve high image quality, dissolution stability of colorants for reliability, Storage stability, etc., water resistance, light resistance, etc. to ensure the storage stability of recorded images, and ink quick-drying properties to achieve high speed, etc., so far, various ...
