Abstract

An aqueous ink for inkjet printing containing a colorant, a resin, a wetting agent, a surfactant, and water, in which the wetting agent contains a polyhydric alcohol at 60% by mass or more relative to the total amount of the wetting agent, the polyhydric alcohol having a solubility parameter value of 11.0 to 15.0, the resin contains a (meth)acrylic resin having a polydimethylsiloxane chain structure and a polyether chain structure on a side chain and a weight average molecular weight of 2,000 to 30,000, the (meth)acrylic resin is water soluble, the ratio of the blend amount of the polyhydric alcohol to the blend amount of the (meth)acrylic resin is 1500:1 to 6:1 by mass ratio, and the content of fluorine atoms in the total amount of the aqueous ink is 500 mass ppm or less.

Claims (12)

1 . An aqueous ink for inkjet printing containing a colorant, a resin, a wetting agent, a surfactant, and water, wherein

the wetting agent contains a polyhydric alcohol at 60% by mass or more with respect to a total amount of the wetting agent, the polyhydric alcohol having a solubility parameter value (SP value) of 11.0 to 15.0 (cal/cm 3 ) 1/2 ,

the resin contains a (meth)acrylic resin having a polydimethylsiloxane chain structure and a polyether chain structure on a side chain and a weight average molecular weight of 2,000 to 30,000,

the (meth)acrylic resin is water soluble,

a ratio of a blend amount of the polyhydric alcohol to a blend amount of the (meth)acrylic resin is 1500:1 to 6:1 by mass ratio, and

a content of fluorine atoms in a total amount of the aqueous ink is 500 mass ppm or less.

2 . The aqueous ink for inkjet printing according to claim 1 , wherein the colorant is a pigment, and a content of the pigment is 0.5 to 15% by mass in the total amount of the aqueous ink.

3 . The aqueous ink for inkjet printing according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the polyhydric alcohol is 0.5 to 50% by mass in the total amount of the aqueous ink.

4 . The aqueous ink for inkjet printing according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the (meth)acrylic resin is 0.01 to 5% by mass in the total amount of the aqueous ink.

5 . The aqueous ink for inkjet printing according to claim 1 , wherein the wetting agent does not contain 2% by mass or more of a wetting agent having a carbon number of 8 or more, in the total amount of the aqueous ink.

6 . The aqueous ink for inkjet printing according to claim 1 , wherein the wetting agent contains a polyhydric alcohol at 60% by mass or more relative to the total amount of the wetting agent, the polyhydric alcohol having a solubility parameter value (SP value) of 11.0 to 13.0 (cal/cm 3 ) 1/2 .

7 . A printed item obtained using the aqueous ink for inkjet printing according to claim 1 .
