Technical field
The present invention relates to aqueous ink for inkjet.
Background technology
The ink-vapor recording system is from the high liquid ink of minute nozzle jet flow and makes it attached on the recording mediums such as paper and the printing system of printing.This system have can with less expensive device at a high speed and low noise ground print the feature of high resolving power, high quality images, popularized rapidly recently.
From obtaining the viewpoint of high-quality print at an easy rate, China ink is popularized for the China ink of water-based type.Aqueous ink is to have following feature by containing the China ink that moisture improves drying property, comparing with the oiliness China ink: even also be difficult to print through (ink penetration is to the situation of recording medium the inside), literal favorable reproducibility at the two-face printing of common paper.The colorant of this aqueous ink is broadly divided into dyestuff and pigment 2 kinds, but because pigment inks has good photostabilization and water tolerance, thereby popularized rapidly.
Problem when being printed onto on the common paper as the use aqueous ink can list curling (protruding curling) phenomenon, wrinkling (fluctuating) phenomenon.This is for being the infiltration of paper fibre owing to aqueous ink to recording medium, and interfibrous hydrogen bond is cut off, paper expands and the phenomenon of generation.
Patent documentation 1 (TOHKEMY 2005-220296 communique) discloses a kind of aqueous ink for inkjet, it has following feature: comprise the solvent that possesses particular surface tension force, viscosity and vapour pressure, can improve record-header ejection, take off lid adaptability (decapping properties), have excellent anti-print through, text quality, crimp property.
