[Effect of the invention 1 As described above, jet inks characterized by containing a polymer having a side chain having a polar group in a non-polar main chain have traditionally been a major problem for inkjet printers. Not only does it greatly improve the printing characteristics during high-temperature storage, but it also has the effect of preventing bleeding by holding the recording dots in the polymer and allowing high print recording. Furthermore, the cohesive force and adhesive force of the bomber have the effect of making it possible to print on a variety of transfer papers, such as plastics such as torrence bailancy, and on metal surfaces.
