Description

Field of Invention

  The present invention relates to a liquid composition containing no colorant, which is used with an ink composition comprising a colorant.

  The ink jet recording method is a printing method in which recording is performed by flying small droplets of an ink composition and attaching them to a recording medium such as paper. This method has a feature that a high-resolution and clear image can be printed at high speed while using a relatively inexpensive apparatus. Conventionally, various ink compositions for use in recording by this ink jet recording method have been proposed. In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for higher quality recorded images, and in particular, various ideas have been made to further improve the color development and glossiness of recorded images.

In order to realize a high-quality image, it has been proposed to perform recording by adhering a second composition to a recording medium together with an ink composition. For example, JP-A-9-207424 (Patent Document 1) and JP-A-9-286940 (Patent Document 2) describe an ink composition having a specific composition and a reaction liquid containing polyallylamine as a recording medium. An ink jet recording method to be attached to a film is disclosed.

Next, ion-exchanged water, an organic solvent, and other components as necessary are sufficiently stirred at room temperature to prepare an ink solvent. The pigment dispersion is gradually added dropwise to a state where the ink solvent is stirred with a suitable stirrer and sufficiently stirred. After sufficiently stirring, filtration is performed to remove coarse particles and foreign matters that cause clogging, thereby obtaining a target ink composition.

  When a self-dispersing pigment is used as a colorant, an ink composition can be obtained in the same manner as described above except that the pigment is surface-treated and the pigment itself is dispersed.

According to another aspect of the ink cartridge invention, an ink cartridge containing the liquid composition is provided. This ink cartridge may be configured to contain only the liquid composition alone, or may be configured to contain both the liquid composition and the ink composition.
