Abstract: An inkjet ink contains a pigment, urethane resin particles, polyolefin resin particles, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, propylene glycol, and water. The urethane resin particles have a percentage content of at least 2.5% by mass and no greater than 9.0% by mass. The polyolefin resin particles have a percentage content of at least 2.5% by mass and no greater than 9.0% by mass. The dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether has a percentage content of at least 4.0% by mass and no greater than 25.0% by mass. The propylene glycol has a percentage content of at least 9.0% by mass and no greater than 35.0% by mass.

Abstract: A CO2 emission estimation system includes a CO2 emission estimator. The CO2 emission estimator calculates an estimated value of CO2 emissions from an image forming apparatus when performing a job, using a CO2 emission estimation model as a formula for estimating the CO2 emissions and settings for the job. The CO2 emission estimation model is a formula where a multiple regression expression for determining an estimated value of a power consumption of the image forming apparatus when performing the job is multiplied by a CO2 emission factor. The CO2 emission estimation model has a plurality of explanatory variables each according to a different type of setting for the job.

Abstract: An image formation method includes: applying a white ink onto an image formation area of a non-absorbent recording medium; performing image formation with a color ink on the image formation area of the non-absorbent recording medium; and drying the white ink and the color ink. The white ink contains a white pigment, a first aqueous medium, and first binder resin particles containing a first resin. The color ink contains a color pigment, a second aqueous medium, and second binder resin particles containing a second resin. Both the first binder resin particles and the second binder resin particles include identical resin particles. The first resin and the second resin each have a glass transition temperature of at least 40° C. and no greater than 80° C.
