Abstract

Provided is an inkjet pigment ink which contains a pigment that is selected from the group consisting of C.L. Pigment Yellow 74 having a transmittance of 70% or more, C.I. Pigment Red 269 having a transmittance of 70% or more, C.I. Pigment Red 122 having a transmittance of less than 70% and C.I. Pigment Yellow 150; a water-soluble solvent that is selected from the group consisting of glycol ethers and diols; water; and a pigment dispersing resin that is a copolymer which contains a monomer A, a monomer B and a monomer C as unit components. The monomer A is an alkyl (meth)acrylate ester; the monomer B is styrene, α-methyl styrene or benzyl (meth)acrylate; and the monomer C is (meth)acrylic acid.

Claims (38)

1. An inkjet pigment ink, comprising:

C.I. Pigment Red 122;

a water-soluble solvent selected from the group consisting of a glycol ether and a diol;

water; and

a pigment dispersing resin which is copolymer consisting essentially of a monomer A, a monomer B, and a monomer C as unit components,

wherein the C.I. Pigment Red 122 is a pigment subject to a hydrophilic treatment and has a transmittance of less than 70%, and

wherein:

the transmittance is a transmittance of an aqueous layer measured by a turbidimeter when a 1.00% by weight pigment is added to water, is shaken, and is left for an hour, and then the aqueous layer is collected, and is measured in a 50 mm angular cell;

the monomer A is an alkyl (meth)acrylate ester having a C18-C24 alkyl group;

the monomer B is styrene, α-methyl styrene, or benzyl (meth)acrylate; and

the monomer C is (meth)acrylic acid.

2. The inkjet pigment ink according to claim 1 , wherein an acid value of the pigment dispersing resin is 50 mgKOH/g or more and 400 mgKOH/g or less.

3. The inkjet pigment ink according to claim 1 , wherein the monomer A is selected from the group consisting of stearyl (meth)acrylate and behenyl (meth)acrylate.

4. The inkjet pigment ink according to claim 1 , wherein the monomer B is styrene.

5. The inkjet pigment ink according to claim 1 , wherein an adsorption rate of a dispersant with respect to the pigment is 10% or more when a dispersing element comprising the pigment, the dispersant and the solvent has a pigment/dispersed resin (non-volatile matter) ratio of 4/1.

6. The inkjet pigment ink according to claim 1 , wherein the glycol ether is selected from the group consisting of a (poly)alkylene glycol monoalkyl ether and a (poly)alkylene glycol dialkyl ether.

7. The inkjet pigment ink according to claim 1 , wherein the diol is selected from a C3-C6 alkanediol.

8. The inkjet pigment ink according to claim 1 , which comprises an aqueous emulsion.

9. An ink set of yellow, magenta, cyan, and black inks, which comprises the inkjet pigment ink according to claim 1 .

10. A printed material, which is printed with the inkjet pigment ink according to claim 1 .

11. An inkjet pigment ink, which comprises:

C.I. Pigment Red 269;

a water-soluble solvent selected from the group consisting of a glycol ether and a diol;

water; and

a pigment dispersing resin being a copolymer consisting essentially of a monomer A, a monomer B, and a monomer C as unit components;

wherein the C.I. Pigment Red 269 has a transmittance of less than 70%, and wherein the transmittance is a transmittance of an aqueous layer measured by a turbidimeter when a 1.00% by weight pigment is added to water, is shaken, and is left for an hour, and then the aqueous layer is collected, and is measured in a 50 mm angular cell, and

the monomer A is an alkyl (meth)acrylate ester having a C18-C24 alkyl group,

the monomer B is styrene, α-methyl styrene, or benzyl (meth)acrylate, and

the monomer C is (meth)acrylic acid.

12. The inkjet pigment ink according to claim 11 , wherein an acid value of the pigment dispersing resin is 50 mgKOH/g or more and 400 mgKOH/g or less.

13. The inkjet pigment ink according to claim 11 , wherein the monomer A is selected from the group consisting of stearyl (meth)acrylate, and behenyl (meth)acrylate.

14. The inkjet pigment ink according to claim 11 , wherein the monomer B is styrene.

15. The inkjet pigment ink according to claim 11 , wherein an adsorption rate of a dispersant with respect to the pigment is 10% or more when a dispersing element comprising the pigment, the dispersant, and the solvent has a pigment/dispersed resin (non-volatile matter) ratio of 7/3.

16. The inkjet pigment ink according to claim 11 , wherein the glycol ethers is selected from the group consisting of a (poly)alkylene glycol monoalkyl ether and a (poly)alkylene glycol dialkyl ether.

17. The inkjet pigment ink according to claim 11 , wherein the diols is selected from a C3-C6 alkanediol.

18. The inkjet pigment ink according to claim 11 , which comprises an aqueous emulsion.

19. An ink set of yellow, magenta, cyan, and black inks, which comprises the inkjet pigment ink according to claim 11 .

20. A printed material, which is printed with the inkjet pigment ink according to claim 11 .
