Abstract:
A water-based ink for ink-jet recording includes a coloring agent and water. The coloring agent includes a dye represented by the following general formula (1). In the ink, an amount of glycerin is set so as to satisfy the following condition (A). 3.5X−5≦Y1≦3.5X (A) X: an amount of a dye represented by general formula (1) relative to a total amount of the ink (wt %) Y1: an amount of glycerin relative to a total amount of the ink (wt %)
Abstract:
The present invention provides a water-based ink for ink-jet recording containing a coloring agent and water. The coloring agent contains a dye represented by the following general formula (1). The ink further includes a substance having a structure in which a carbon atom and a nitrogen atom are covalently bound.
Abstract:
A liquid supply apparatus includes a container mounting portion and a liquid container. The liquid container includes a case configured to store liquid therein, and a movable member positioned in the case. The movable member and the case comprise a pair of magnetic materials on which a magnetic force acts, such that the pair of magnetic materials attracts each other. When the liquid container is not mounted to the container mounting portion, the movable member is in a fixed state in which the movable member is fixed to the case by the magnetic force acting between the pair of magnetic materials. The container mounting portion includes a release member configured to release the movable member from the fixed state by generating a magnetic force acting between the pair of magnetic materials, such that the pair of magnetic materials separates away from each other.
