Abstract

Provided is an ink composition used in active energy ray-curable inkjet printing, which has excellent curing property, discharge property, storage stability, and compatibility with various substrates. The inkjet ink composition of the present invention includes at least two types of polymerizable compounds selected from a group consisting of (A) 2-(2-vinyloxyethoxy) ethyl acrylate, (B) N-vinyl caprolactam, and (C) at least one type of bifunctional acrylate monomer including at least a diacrylate having a molecular weight of 250 or less.

Claims (16)

1. An active energy ray-curable inkjet ink composition comprising at least two types of polymerizable compounds selected from the group consisting of

(A) 2-(2-vinyloxyethoxy) ethyl acrylate,

(B) N-vinyl caprolactam, and

(C) a bifunctional acrylate monomer comprising a diacrylate and having a molecular weight of 250 or less,

said composition further comprising a pigment and a pigment dispersing agent, wherein the pigment dispersing agent is a comb type resin dispersing agent comprising polyethyleneimine as a main skeleton and a urethane skeleton as a side chain.

2. The inkjet ink composition according to claim 1 , comprising (A) 2-(2-vinyloxyethoxy) ethyl acrylate and (B) N-vinyl caprolactam.

3. The inkjet ink composition according to claim 2 , wherein a content of (B) N-vinyl caprolactam is 3 to 40% by weight based on a total weight of the ink composition.

4. The inkjet ink composition according to claim 1 , comprising (A), (B) and (C).

5. The inkjet ink composition according to claim 2 , further comprising (D) a polyfunctional acrylate monomer with a functionality of 3 or more.

6. The inkjet ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the urethane skeleton in the comb type resin dispersing comprises a component comprising tolylene diisocyanate as an isocyanate component and propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, or both, as an alcohol component.

7. The inkjet ink composition according to claim 1 , having a viscosity at 25° C. of 5 to 14 mPa·s.

8. A printed material obtained by printing the ink composition according to claim 1 on a substrate.

9. The inkjet ink composition according to claim 3 , further comprising (D) a polyfunctional acrylate monomer with a functionality of 3 or more.

10. The inkjet ink composition according to claim 4 , further comprising (D) a polyfunctional acrylate monomer with a functionality of 3 or more.

11. The inkjet ink composition according to claim 1 , comprising (A) and (C).

12. The inkjet ink composition according to claim 1 , comprising (B) and (C).
