    摘要: There is provided an ink discharging apparatus including: a conveyor, a head, a heater, and a controller. The controller is configured to control the conveyor and the heater so as to heat a recording medium or the water-based ink for recording adhered to the recording medium, while conveying the recording medium in a conveying direction. The water-based ink for recording includes: a resin-dispersed pigment, resin fine particles of which glass transition temperature is not less than 33° C., an organic solvent, and water. The ink discharging apparatus satisfies condition (I): 5≤(Tg−Th)≤40. In the condition (I), Tg (° C.) is the glass transition temperature of the resin fine particles, and Th (° C.) is a maximum surface temperature of the recording medium heated by the heater.

    摘要: An ink composition is used for recording on a low-absorbing recording medium or a non-absorbing recording medium and is an aqueous ink jet ink containing a pigment, and the ink composition includes 1.2 to 2.9 percent by mass of an amine with respect to a total mass of the ink composition, and an organic solvent other than an amine. The organic solvent includes an organic solvent having a standard boiling point of 150° C. to 250° C. in an amount of 5 to 30 percent by mass with respect to the total mass of the ink composition, and the organic solvent having a standard boiling point of 150° C. to 250° C. includes a diol having a water mixture viscosity of 3.0 mPa·s or more.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a metal fine particle-containing ink containing metal fine particles (a) dispersed therein with a polymer B, in which the ink contains an ink solvent S; a difference ΔSP (|SP(S)−SP(B)|) between solubility parameters of the solvent S and the polymer B is not more than 1.5 (cal/cm3)0.5 wherein SP(S) and SP(B) are a solubility parameter of the ink solvent S and a solubility parameter of the polymer B, respectively, as measured by a Fedors method; and the SP(B) is not less than 9.5 (cal/cm3)0.5 and not more than 10.5 (cal/cm3)0.5, as well as a method for producing a printed material, which includes the step of applying the metal fine particle-containing ink to a printing substrate to form a metal coating film of the ink on the printing substrate under ordinary-temperature environments, thereby obtaining the printed material.
