Background technology
Under the situation of preparation ink-jet with the pigment inks fluid composition, use diverting device to come dispersion treatment pigment usually, be processed into pigment and in ink composition, stably disperse.In light solidified pigment inks fluid composition, in black liquid solvent, use to be called as monomeric polymerizable compound, but it is difficult to the pigment dispersion treatment.This is because under the effect of the free radical that the heat that produces when dispersion treatment or mechanochemistry ground (mechanochemical) produce, monomer begins initiated polymerization, and cause that viscosity increases or gelation and so on do not wish the phenomenon that occurs.
In addition, the also known ink composition that is called as monomeric polymerizable compound of containing is in preserving for a long time, because dark reaction and carry out viscosity inevitably and increase or gelation.
In order to improve this unfavorable condition, comprise and add liquid composition or the ink jet recording method that polymerization retarder suppresses monomeric polyreaction.For example disclosing can be by containing the solution (solution 1) that contains polymerizable compound and Photoepolymerizationinitiater initiater in recording medium and any one party of the solution (solution 2) that contains polymerization retarder becomes black liquid in the look material, make after solution 1 adheres to, solution 2 is adhered to, carry out lettering, thereby be cured reaction effectively, in addition, also preferably to improve the storage stability (patent documentation 1) of ink composition.
Patent documentation 1: the spy opens the 2006-150665 communique
Utilize these methods, can suppress the unnecessary polyreaction between preservation period, in addition, also must in each mechanism of recording unit or part, suppress unnecessary polyreaction.
The optical free radical curing ink composition that utilizes Raolical polymerizable except situation about being consumed, also has situation about also being consumed in the purposes beyond printing in the printing purposes in ink-jet recording device.For example, in the flushing of carrying out in order to safeguard nozzle (flushing) is handled, the consumption that on the cap member of head, sponge member, sprays as black liquid absorption piece, the consumption that attracts with pump during cleaning, be attached to the consumption of wiper blade (wiper blade), and then in boundless printing, be ejected into as consumption on the sponge member of the black liquid absorption piece of non-lettering portion etc.
