Abstract

Black particles include a black pigment; and a cyan pigment, wherein when the reflectance to light of wavelength of 420 nm and the reflectance to light of wavelength of 770 nm of plural samples are measured, the standard deviations (1σ) of the measured values are about 1 or less with respect to both wavelengths.

Claims (10)

1. Black particles comprising:

a black pigment; and

a cyan pigment, wherein

when the reflectance to light of wavelength of 420 nm and the reflectance to light of wavelength of 770 nm of a plurality of samples are measured, the standard deviations (1σ) of the measured values are about 1 or less with respect to both wavelengths.

2. The black particles as claimed in claim 1 , wherein when the reflectance to light of wavelength of 420 nm and the reflectance to light of wavelength of 770 nm of a plurality of samples are measured, the difference between the average of the reflectance to light of wavelength of 420 nm and the average of the reflectance to light of wavelength of 770 nm is within about 5%.

3. The black particles as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the blending proportion of the black pigment and the cyan pigment is in the range of about 10/1 to about 2/1 by mass ratio.

4. The black particles as claimed in claim 1 , which have a number average particle size of about 1 μm or less.

5. The black particles as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cyan pigment is C.I. Pigment Blue 15:3.

6. A particle container for storing the black particles as claimed in claim 1 .

7. The black particles as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a mixture of the black pigment and the cyan pigment has a crystallinity of from 10 to 80.
