- the resin and the pigment are integrated at an initial stage of kneading, and the subsequent kneading process is extremely efficient.
- the kneading temperature is a pass temperature in the kneading step. The temperature of the kneaded material itself reaches or exceeds the pass temperature due to the addition of shear energy.

It is suitable for the production of aqueous ink for ink jet recording which is used for thermal jet ink jet recording.
- a resin having a high glass transition point which is suitable for a thermal jet type ink jet recording ink composition, can be kneaded at a low temperature and dispersed in an aqueous medium. An aqueous pigment dispersion having good properties can be easily produced.
- volatilization of a wetting agent or the like can be suppressed in order to keep the solid content ratio during kneading within a certain value and to apply a stable shearing force to the colored kneaded material throughout.
- a closed system or a kneader that can be a closed system is preferable, and it is preferable to use a kneader provided with a stirring tank, a lid of the stirring tank, and a single-shaft or multi-shaft stirring blade.

It is possible to perform an initial dispersion or to produce an aqueous pigment dispersion by proceeding the dispersion.

It can cover a wide range from low viscosity to high viscosity, and the transition from the start of kneading to the dispersing step including dilution after kneading can be continuously performed within the same model. Further, it is easy to add a wetting agent and distillation under reduced pressure is possible, and viscosity and shear force during kneading are easily adjusted.

However, no particular problem was observed in both the examples and the comparative examples.
- Examples 1 to 4 using only phthalimid-methylidani 3,3,10-dichloroquinatalidone also have good properties, but considering the ink composition, Examples 5 to 9 have better dispersion during heating. It is clear that the stability is excellent. Comparative Example 1, in which the phthalimidated methylated quinataridone-based compound was not used, had a large increase in the particle size and viscosity after the heating test, and was inferior in stability during heating. Even when the phthalimidomethylated quinacridone-based compound was used, Comparative Example 2, which did not go through the mixing step, still had a large increase in particle size and viscosity after the heating test, and was inferior in stability during heating.
- Comparative Example 3 had good ink jet recording suitability, but was inferior to Examples 1 to 4 in dispersion stability upon heating, indicating that there was an effect of the weight average molecular weight of the resin.
- Comparative Example 4 using a resin having a large weight average molecular weight, the dispersion stability was good, but the recording suitability with a thermal jet ink jet printer was poor.
- Comparative Example 5 using a four-component resin containing 50% by mass or more of a styrene-based monomer unit, dispersion stability was not bad, but good recording characteristics as in Examples 1 to 4 were not obtained.
- the produced aqueous pigment dispersion is further diluted with an aqueous medium, and various additives are added as necessary, so that the pigment particles have a very small particle diameter and are excellent in dispersion stability for ink jet recording. Since water-based ink can be obtained efficiently, it is extremely effective in industry.
