An ink jet recording apparatus is provided with a plurality of inks and includes a unit configured to perform a recovery operation by suction of inks from a plurality of ink ejection portions using a suction cap, wherein the plurality of inks include an ink set including a combination of at least a first ink and a second ink, the first ink containing (i) a self-dispersion pigment having at least one hydrophilic group directly or through another atomic group bonded to the surface of the pigment, and (ii) ammonium ions, the second ink containing a pigment, a polymer having an acid value of 160 mg KOH/g or less, and alkali metal ions, and the suction cap used in the recovery operation is individually provided for each of the first ink and the second ink.
摘要:
Provided is an aqueous ink with high storage stability and scratch resistance at such a high level that the coloring material of an image is not scraped off even when lightly touched with a sharp product. The aqueous ink includes a water-insoluble coloring material and plural polymers. The plural polymers include a polymer A which relatively contributes to dispersion of the water-insoluble coloring material and a polymer B which does not relatively contribute to the dispersion of the water-insoluble coloring material compared to the polymer A. The polymer A includes a block copolymer having an acid value of 120 mgKOH/g to 180 mgKOH/g and having an ethylene oxide group as a nonionic group. The polymer B has an acid value of 150 mgKOH/g or less and a hydrogen bond parameter (δh) of the polymer obtained by solubility parameters of monomers constituting the polymer of 1.0 cal0.5/cm1.5 or more and 3.2 cal0.5/cm1.5 or less.

To provide an ink jet black ink which has a favorable tint for ink jet black ink, provides high ozone fastness, a high image density, and high sticking recovery property, and is capable of suppressing the decomposition of a compound represented by the following general formula (I) or a salt thereof at the time of storage for a long time period. The ink jet black ink is an ink jet black ink comprising at least a compound represented by the following general formula (I) or a salt thereof as a coloring material, and ethylene glycol or diethylene glycol, wherein the content of ethylene glycol or diethylene glycol is 15 mass % or more and 30 mass % or less with respect to the total mass of the ink jet black ink.General formula (I)
摘要:
To provide an ink set which achieves an improvement in gradation of a monochrome image and the realization of a high black density, and which solves gloss unevenness occurring upon formation of an image by means of at least three kinds of black inks different from one another in carbon black content. Provided is an ink set having at least three kinds of black inks different from one another in carbon black content in which carbon black contents in the at least three kinds of inks establish a specific relationship.
