- Figure 13 shows an image of the color reproduction range when an image is formed on a recording medium (plain paper).
- a good solvent is one having good dispersion stability of the water-insoluble colorant in the water-soluble organic solvent. It is a poor solvent.
- the water-based ink according to the present invention is characterized by focusing on the water-soluble organic solvent contained in the ink together with the water-insoluble colorant, and the water-soluble organic solvent having a function of dissolving or dispersing the water-insoluble colorant.
- the water-insoluble colorant is classified into those exhibiting the above-mentioned behavior as a poor solvent and those exhibiting a behavior as a good solvent, and the ratio (B / A) of the poor solvent to the good solvent in the ink is specified. This is because the ink is designed so that it falls within the range.
- another feature of the ink according to the present invention is that, in addition to the water-soluble organic solvent having the specific configuration described above, each of the Ka of each of the plurality of water-soluble organic solvents obtained by the Bristow method. Among these values (measurement method will be described later), the water-soluble organic solvent showing the maximum Ka value is the poor solvent.

- An image with an actor and high image density An image is obtained, and an ink having excellent storage stability is obtained.
- the present inventors have made various studies in order to suppress the bronze phenomenon that occurs remarkably when an image is formed on a recording medium having a surface gloss by using cyanink containing a water-insoluble colorant.
- there are roughly two ways to control the bronze phenomenon Specifically, there are a method for increasing the ratio of the content of a specific resin to the content of a water-insoluble color material in the ink, and a method for reducing the content of the water-insoluble color material in the ink. .

- a recording medium especially plain paper
- the ink droplet 1 3 0 1 according to the present invention is printed on the recording medium 1 3 0 0, for example, on plain paper. From that moment, the ratios of the water in the ink, the good and poor solvents to the water-insoluble color material, and the water-insoluble color material change.
- the ink settles on the recording medium after the landing of the ink droplet 1 3 0 1 on the surface of the recording medium 1 3 0 0, the water evaporates.
- the poor solvent 1 3 0 7 having a high Ka value diffuses closer to a perfect circle near the surface of the recording medium than the good solvent having a low Ka value. It is thought that dots are formed.
- FIGS. 10B to 10D are schematic diagrams showing the state of ink from when the ink lands on the recording medium 13 300 until it is fixed later. Focusing on the spreading state of the ink dot in this case, it is thought that the concentration of the poor solvent is higher at the outer periphery 1 3 0 2 of the dot at the contact portion between the ink and the paper than at the center 1 3 0 3 of the dot. It is done. The nests and ink dots diffuse near the recording medium in a shape close to a perfect circle, and in the process of diffusion, the concentration of the poor solvent 13 0 7 increases rapidly with respect to the water-insoluble colorant.
- the water-insoluble color material in cyan ink applied to the recording medium is efficiently present in the vicinity of the surface of the recording medium, so that the color material content in the ink is small as in the cyan ink according to the present invention. Even with ink, a high image density can be obtained.
- the color balance in the present invention refers to the relative extent of the color reproduction range that can be expressed by each color.
- the color balance is explained with reference to Fig. 13.

- the color gamut indicated by (2) uses the cyan ink of the present invention.
- This is the color reproduction range when As can be seen from FIG. 13, when the cyan ink of the present invention is used, the color reproduction range of each color of cyan, dally:, yellow, red, magenta, and blue is sufficient. Can be said to be excellent.
- the color reproduction range centered on cyan is relatively narrower than other regions, and it is said that the color balance is poor. it can.
- the recording medium such as plain paper can be used. There arises a problem that the image density and color balance of the formed image are lowered.
- the present inventors form an image using an ink set having a plurality of inks
- the content of the water-insoluble color material in the cyan ink is less than the content of the water-insoluble color material in the other inks, and is included in the cyan ink.
- the ratio of the good solvent to the poor solvent (BZA) contained in the cyan ink is larger than that of the other aqueous inks.

- Fig. 1 1A, 1 1 B, 1 1 C, 1 10 and Fig. 12, 12 B, 12 C, 1 2D when the (BZA) value of ink is large and small, It can be seen that the location of the final water-insoluble colorant on the recording medium is different. That is, the figure.
- the present inventors use an ink containing a water-insoluble color material and a reaction liquid that destabilizes the dispersion state of the water-insoluble color material in the ink by contacting the ink.
- a system that forms images sometimes referred to as a two-component system.
- the conventional two-component system aims to obtain an image with high printing density by leaving more color material on the surface layer of the recording medium. Accordingly, the aqueous ink and the reaction liquid are brought into contact with each other immediately before or simultaneously with the application of the water-based ink and the reaction liquid to the recording medium to complete the reaction. As a result, the area factor may be small for a large amount of ink droplets.
- the ink of the present invention when the ink of the present invention is applied to a recording medium, an image having a sufficiently large area factor and a high image density can be obtained even with a small amount of ink droplets.
- the present inventors estimate as follows.
- the reactive component in the reaction liquid is slightly deeper than the surface layer of the recording medium than the surface layer of the recording medium. Many of them exist in places that have penetrated in the direction.
- the ratio of the poor solvent and the good solvent in each ink is the same as the cyan ink of the present invention.
- the color balance is not further impaired. It was found that high image density can be obtained.
- the good solvent and the poor solvent used in the present invention are capable of maintaining a good dispersion state of the water-insoluble colorant. It is determined in relation to the coloring material and substances that contribute to its dispersion (such as the dispersant and surfactant described later). Therefore, in the preparation of the water-based ink according to the present invention, when selecting a good solvent and a poor solvent, it is preferable to observe the stability of the dispersion state of the water-insoluble colorant to be used and to obtain the result from the results. . As a result of various studies on the criteria for determining good and poor solvents that bring about the effects of the present invention in relation to the effects of the present invention, the present inventors have found that the following determination methods are effective. I found out.

- the average particle size of the water-insoluble colorant in dispersion A was then measured using a concentrated particle size analyzer (trade name: FPAR-1 0 0 0; manufactured by Otsuka Electronics Co., Ltd.) and the like.
- the aqueous dispersion B was measured for the average particle size of the water-insoluble colorant in a state where it was not warmed and stored using a concentrated particle size analyzer in the same manner as described above. Then, when the average particle size values of the water-insoluble colorants in the dispersion A and the water dispersion B are defined as particle size (A) and particle size (B), these values are defined as follows. According to the results, a good solvent and a poor solvent were distinguished.
- the Ka value obtained by the Bristow method is explained. This value is used as a measure for the penetration of liquid into the recording medium.
