White ink composition
A white ink composition contains a white coloring material and a fixing resin component. The fixing resin component includes a styrene acrylic resin and a urethane resin at a mass ratio of the styrene acrylic resin to the urethane resin (styrene acrylic resin/urethane resin) of at least 1/10.
1. A white ink composition, comprising:
a white coloring material and a fixing resin component, wherein
the fixing resin component comprises a styrene acrylic resin and a urethane resin at a mass ratio of the styrene acrylic resin to the urethane resin (styrene acrylic resin/urethane resin) of at least 1/10, and
the content of the styrene acrylic resin is 0.5 to 10% by mass based on the total mass of the white ink composition, and
the content of the urethane resin is 0.5 to 10% by mass based on the total mass of the white ink composition.
2. The white ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the white coloring material is a metal compound pigment.
3. The white ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the urethane resin is dispersed in a solvent in a particle form.
4. The white ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the styrene acrylic resin is dispersed in a solvent in a particle form.
5. The white ink composition according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one selected from alkanediols and glycol ethers.
6. The white ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the white ink composition is used in an ink jet recording printer that records the white ink composition to a medium using an ink jet recording head.
7. The white ink composition according to claim 1 , the mass ratio is at least 2/10.
