確に印刷できなくなってしまった。However, in the above-mentioned ink using a metallic pigment having a high light concealing property such as a metallic color or a white color, the ink can be used by an ink jet recording apparatus to achieve a high level of transparency. Lines, figures, characters or surfaces of high light opacity colors such as clear metallic colors or bright white could not be stably printed on the recording medium surface. The reason is that the metallic pigment having a high light concealing property is separated from the solvent of the ink and settles to the lower part of the ink during its use due to its large specific gravity. As means for solving such a problem, by reducing the particle size of the metal pigment having a high light hiding property,
A method of reducing the weight of the metal pigment so that the metal pigment does not settle below the ink but remains stably floating in the solvent of the ink for a long period of time is considered. Can be However, the particle size of the metal pigment is adjusted so that the metal pigment having a high light-hiding property is stably suspended in the solvent of the ink for a long period of time. 0.5μ, almost the same as the pigment
m or less, the color of the metal pigment for high light opacity color printing such as a metallic color changes to gray with a loss of metallic luster, or the metal pigment for high light opaque color printing such as white. White and the like have lost color and become transparent. Therefore, using an ink in which a metal pigment having a high particle size of 0.5 μm or less and having a high light-shielding property is used, a line of a high light-shielding color such as a metallic color or white is formed on a recording medium surface using an inkjet recording apparatus. When a figure, a character, or a surface is printed, the line, figure, character, or surface printed on the surface of the recording medium becomes a dull, faded gray or nearly transparent state. In addition, it was not possible to print beautifully and accurately a line, figure, character or surface of a high light opaque color having a high quality clear metallic gloss or a bright white gloss on the surface of the recording medium. On the other hand, as mentioned above,
The metallic color of the metal pigment with high light opacity for metallic color printing has changed to gray with a loss of metallic luster, and the white of the metal pigment with high light opacity for white printing has lost color and is transparent. It has been experimentally confirmed that the metal pigment should have a particle size of about 2 μm or more in order to prevent the occurrence of the metal pigment. However, when the particle size of the metallic pigment for metallic color printing or the metallic pigment for white printing is set to about 2 μm or more, the weight of the metallic pigment increases, and the metallic pigment becomes an ink. The ink was not able to be stably floated in the solvent for a long period of time, but settled under the ink at an early stage. Then, using the ink in which the metal pigment is used, using an ink jet recording apparatus, a line, a figure, a character, or a surface of a high light opaque color having a high-quality clear metallic gloss or a bright white gloss on the recording medium surface. Has become impossible to print beautifully and accurately.

る。In the ink for the first or second ink jet recording apparatus, the core material occupying a large volume in the pigment having a high light hiding color is made up of a light-weight or spherical sphere made of plastic having a low specific gravity. Used. In particular, the hollow sphere has a very light weight because its internal space is occupied by a gas such as air having a very small specific gravity. Therefore, the outer peripheral surface of the sphere or hollow sphere has a metallic color or white color by forming a thin metal coating having a high specific gravity to cover the outer peripheral surface of the light sphere or hollow sphere of its own weight. Compared to the weight of the metal pigment made of a metal material of a high light opacity color such as a metallic color of the same size or white, the weight of the high light opacity color pigment covered with a high light opacity metal coating,
Can be significantly lighter. Then, a pigment having a high light concealing color in which the outer peripheral surface of the light sphere or hollow sphere having its own weight is covered with a metallic coating having a high light concealing property such as a metallic color or white is applied to the ink solvent for a long time. It is possible to keep holding it in a stable floating state. In addition, even if the metal coating is formed thin as described above, the effect of reflecting or absorbing light does not deteriorate, so that the outer peripheral surface of the sphere or hollow sphere has a metallic color or white light shielding property. The appearance of a pigment covered with a high metallic coating can be formed into a glossy, high-quality, clear metallic color or a bright light opaque color such as vivid white. As a result, using an ink jet recording apparatus, the outer peripheral surface of the sphere or hollow sphere is an ink in which a light-weight light pigment that is covered with a metal coating having a high light-shielding property such as a metallic color or white is used. It is possible to stably print a line, a figure, a character, or a surface of a high light opaque color such as a glossy high-quality clear metallic color or a bright white color on the surface of a recording medium.

It is formed thinly. The weight of the pigments 60 and 70 is significantly reduced.
In the case of the pigments 60 and 70 having a high light concealing color such as a metallic color, a metal film 20 having a high light concealing property made of a metal such as gold, silver and copper having a metallic color is formed by an electroless plating method.
It is thinly formed on the outer peripheral surface of the sphere 10 or the hollow sphere 12 by a vapor deposition method, a sputtering method, or the like. In the case of the pigment 60 or 70 having a high light concealing color such as white, a metal film 20 having a high light concealing property made of a metal such as aluminum, tantalum, or manganese having a white color or the like is similarly formed by electroless plating, vapor deposition, or sputtering. For example, the outer peripheral surface of the sphere 10 or the hollow sphere 12 is formed thin. As a result, the outer peripheral surface of the sphere 10 or the hollow sphere 12 is coated with the metallic coating 20 having a high light-shielding property having a metallic color or a white color.
Using an ink jet recording apparatus, it is possible to print a glossy, high-quality, clear metallic color or a bright light opaque color diagram such as vivid white on a recording medium surface.
