Description

    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to an azomethine compound. In detail, the invention relates to an azomethine compound suitable for a jet printing ink of magenta color. [0001]
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • In an ink-jet recording method, images or characters are printed on image-receiving material with ink ejected from very fine nozzles. The ink-jet recording method can be conducted by using a relatively inexpensive apparatus (i.e., an ink-jet printer), as compared with other printing methods. Further, in proportion to improvement of the method, images of high qualities have been given recently. Now, the ink-jet recording method is one of the most popular image-recording methods. [0002]
  • Ink for the ink-jet recording method (i.e., jet printing ink) must not choke the fine nozzles. Since aqueous inks (aqueous solutions of dyes) hardly choke the nozzles, they are widely used. However, the aqueous inks have poor water resistance. Various means (described in Japanese Patent Provisional Publication Nos. 4(1992)-28776, 4(1992)-189876, 4(1992)-261478, 4(1992)-359071 and 4(1992)-359072) have been proposed to improve the water resistance of the aqueous inks or water-soluble dyes. In addition, the water-soluble dyes have poor light resistance. [0003]
  • Oil-soluble dyes (described in Japanese Patent Provisional Publication Nos. 1(1989)-170672, 3(1991)-221137, 7(1995)-96163, 8(1996)-218015, 9(1997)-3376, 9(1997)-241565, 9(1997)-286939 and 10(1998)-279873) have been proposed in place of the water-soluble dyes. The oil-soluble dyes are usually incorporated in microcapsules or soaked in polymers when they are used for ink-jet printing. Although the oil-soluble dyes have satisfying water resistance, they are unsatisfactory in color reproduction and color stability. [0004]
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • Water-soluble dyes for ink-jet recording have poor resistance against water and light, while oil-soluble dyes are unsatisfactory in color reproduction and color stability. [0005]
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an oil-soluble dye excellent in color reproduction and color stability. [0006]
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an azomethine compound suitable for a jet printing ink of magenta color. [0007]
  • A further object of the invention is to provide an oily magenta ink for ink-jet recording. [0008]
  • The applicants have found an azomethine compound having light-absorption characteristics suitable for a magenta dye. The compound is oil-soluble, and is advantageously used in a preparation of an oily magenta ink for ink-jet recording. [0009]
  • The present invention provides an azomethine compound represented by the formula (I): [0010]

[0229]
    Figure US20020128488A1-20020912-C00007
  • In the formulas (II) and (III), Z[0230] 1, Z2, R1, R2, X, Y, m, n and p are the same as those described above for the formula (I); and R is a group eliminable in the reaction. Examples of the eliminable groups (R) include hydrogen, a halogen atom, a heterocyclic group and an aryloxy group.
  • Though a dye of the azomethine compound of the formula (I) has excellent light resistance, an anti-fading agent can further improve its light resistance. The anti-fading agent is described in “Shikizai (written in Japanese)”, 797, 70(1997). Particularly preferred examples of the anti-fading agents are spirochroman and spiroindane. [0231]
  • The azomethine compound of the formula (I) is preferably used as a magenta dye, particularly an oily magenta ink suitably used for ink-jet recording. [0232]

  • Two or more organic solvents can be used in combination. [0244]
  • The oily magenta ink contains the azomethine compound preferably in an amount of 0.2 to 20 wt. %, and more preferably in an amount of 0.5 to 10 wt. %. [0245]
  • In addition to the azomethine compound and the organic solvent, the ink can contain additives such as viscosity controlling agent, surface tension controlling agent, specific resistance controlling agent, film-formation controlling agent, UV absorber, antioxidizing agent, anti-fading agent, anti-fungal agent, rust inhibitor, dispersing agent and surface active agent. [0246]
  • In ink-jet recording, droplets of the aforementioned oily magenta ink (jet printing ink) are ejected to record an image on recording paper (image-receiving material). In this case, the ink preferably has a viscosity of not more than 40 cp and a surface tension of 20 to 100 dyn/cm. [0247]
  • For forming a full-color image, oily inks of cyan and yellow hues can be used together with the oily magenta ink. Further, an oily ink of black hue can be used to control the tone of the image. [0248]
  • As the recording paper (image-receiving material) for ink-jet printing, coat paper is preferred from the viewpoints of quality and durability of the image. Recording paper containing polymer mordant is also preferred. The recording paper may contain an inorganic pigment. The recording paper preferably comprises a hydrophilic ink-receiving layer containing a hydrophilic binder. The binder is preferably hardened with a curing agent. Further, the recording paper may contain a matting agent. The layers constituting the recording paper may contain a surface active agent or an organic fluorine compound, and further may contain a polymer latex, anti-fading agent and a fluorescent whitening dye. [0249]
  • Ink-jet recording is usually conducted in an on-demand system or in a continuous system. As the head for ink-jet recording (i.e., jet head), some types such as bubble jet type, thermal jet type and ultrasonic type are known. [0250]
  • There are also some types of the ink-jet recording method. For example, in one type, many small droplets of thin ink (which is often referred to as “photo-ink”) are jetted out. In another type, two or more inks having the same hue but different concentrations are used to improve image quality. Further, colorless and transparent ink can be also usable. [0251]

Independently, 400 ml of methanol and 100 g of sodium carbonate were dissolved in 750 ml of water. The prepared two solutions were mixed, and 39.1 g of 4-amino-N-butyl-N-(2-cyanoethyl) aniline was further added. The obtained solution was dropwise added for 1.5 hour to a solution in which 50.0 g of ammonium persulfate was dissolved in 300 ml of water. The resulting solution was made to react for 1 hour. After 1,000 ml of ethyl acetate and 1,000 ml of water were added, the organic phase was collected. The collected liquid was twice washed with 1,500 ml of water, and the solvent was distilled off. To the obtained oil, 300 ml of acetonitrile was added to precipitate a crystalline product. The product was collected and air-dried, and then recrystallized from 300 ml of methanol. Thus, 45 g of the azomethine compound (I[0254] a-12) was prepared. The yield was 40%, and the melting point was 118-119° C.
  • The starting material in the procedure, namely 2-[4-{3-(tetradecyloxycarbonyl) propanoylamino}phenyl]-6-tert-butyl-7- chloropyrazolo[1,5-b][1,2,4]-triazole, was before-hand synthesized according to the method described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 7(1995)-14941.
