Abstract

The invention provides (1) an ink composition including a polymerization initiator and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of (meth)acrylic acid and monofunctional (meth)acrylic acid esters and amides each having a carboxy group in the molecule, (2) an ink composition including a polymerization initiator, at least one compound selected from the group consisting of (meth)acrylic acid and monofunctional (meth)acrylic acid esters and amides each having a carboxy group in the molecule, and a monofunctional (meth)acrylic acid ester or amide having an alkylene oxide repeating unit in the molecule, and (3) an ink composition including a polymerization initiator and a monofunctional (meth)acrylic acid ester or amide having a basic group in the molecule; and an ink jet recording method, a method for producing a planographic printing plate and a planographic printing plate produced by the method for producing a planographic printing plate using the above-mentioned ink compositions.

Claims (40)

1. An ink composition comprising:

a polymerization initiator; and

at least one compound selected from the group consisting of (meth)acrylic acid and monofunctional (meth)acrylic acid esters and amides each having a carboxy group in a molecule.

2. The ink composition of claim 1 , further comprising a colorant.

3. The ink composition of claim 1 , which is an ink composition for ink jet recording.

4. An ink jet recording method, comprising:

(a) discharging the ink composition of claim 1 onto a recording medium; and

(b) irradiating the ink composition with active radiation rays to cure the ink composition.

5. A method for producing a planographic printing plate, comprising:

(a) discharging the ink composition of claim 1 onto a hydrophilic support; and

(b) irradiating the ink composition with active radiation rays to cure the ink composition to form a hydrophobic image on the hydrophilic support.

6. A planographic printing plate, which is produced by the method of claim 5 .

7. An ink composition comprising:

a polymerization initiator;

at least one compound selected from the group consisting of (meth)acrylic acid and monofunctional (meth)acrylic acid esters and amides each having a carboxy group in a molecule; and

a monofunctional (meth)acrylic acid ester or amide having an alkylene oxide repeating unit in a molecule.

8. The ink composition of claim 7 , further comprising a colorant.

9. The ink composition of claim 7 , which is an ink composition for ink jet recording.

10. An ink jet recording method, comprising:

(a) discharging the ink composition of claim 7 onto a recording medium; and

(b) irradiating the ink composition with active radiation rays to cure the ink composition.

11. A method for producing a planographic printing plate, comprising:

(a) discharging the ink composition of claim 7 onto a hydrophilic support; and

(b) irradiating the ink composition with active radiation rays to cure the ink composition to form a hydrophobic image on the hydrophilic support.

12. A planographic printing plate, which is produced by the method of claim 11 .

13. An ink composition comprising:

a polymerization initiator; and

a monofunctional (meth)acrylic acid ester or amide having a basic group in a molecule.

14. The ink composition of claim 13 , further comprising at least one compound selected from the group consisting of (meth)acrylic acid and monofunctional (meth)acrylic acid esters and amides each having an acidic group in a molecule.

15. The ink composition of claim 13 , further comprising a colorant.

16. The ink composition of claim 13 , which is an ink composition for ink jet recording.

17. An ink jet recording method, comprising:

(a) discharging the ink composition of claim 13 onto a recording medium; and

(b) irradiating the ink composition with active radiation rays to cure the ink composition.

18. A method for producing a planographic printing plate, comprising:

(a) discharging the ink composition of claim 13 onto a hydrophilic support; and

(b) irradiating the ink composition with active radiation rays to cure the ink composition to form a hydrophobic image on the hydrophilic support.

19. A planographic printing plate, which is produced by the method of claim 18 .

20. The ink composition of claim 1 comprising at least the monofunctional (meth)acrylic acid esters and amides each having a carboxy group in a molecule, wherein the monofunctional (meth)acrylic acid esters and amides each having a carboxy group in a molecule are a compound represented by the following Formula (I):

wherein R represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; X represents an oxygen atom or NR′, wherein R′ represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group; and Z represents a divalent organic group.
