Abstract

An ink composition contains a first dye represented by formula (I) and a second dye represented by formula (II)

Claims (72)

1. An ink set comprising:

a first ink composition;

a yellow ink composition containing C.I. Reactive Yellow 95 or C.I. Reactive Yellow 2;

a cyan ink composition containing C.I. Reactive Blue 72 or C.I. Reactive Blue 15:1; and

a black ink composition containing C.I. Reactive Black 39,

wherein the first ink composition includes:

at least one first dye represented by formula (I),

where R 1 denotes

R 2 denotes H, CH 3 or C 2 H 5 , and

R 3 denotes H or

where X denotes H, Li, Na, or K,

with possible binding sites labeled with an asterisk; and

at least one second dye represented by formula (II),

where R 1 denotes SO 3 X or

R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 each independently denote H, SO 3 X, a halogen, or

and

X denotes H, Li, Na, or K,

with possible binding sites labeled with an asterisk.

2. The ink set according to claim 1 , wherein

the first ink composition has a pH of 6.0 or more and 8.5 or less.

3. The ink set according to claim 1 , wherein the first ink composition further comprises a pH-adjusting agent.

4. The ink set according to claim 1 , wherein the first ink composition contains no or up to 5% by mass, of a total amount of the first ink composition, polyhydric alcohols with boiling points higher than 260° C.

5. The ink set according to claim 1 , wherein in the first ink composition:

the at least one first dye is selected from C.I. Reactive Red 141, C.I. Reactive Red 24:1, and C.I. Reactive Red 245; and

the at least one second dye is selected from C.I. Reactive Violet 1 and C.I. Reactive Violet 33.

6. An ink set comprising:

the first ink composition according to claim 2 ;

a yellow ink composition containing C.I. Reactive Yellow 95 or C.I. Reactive Yellow 2;

a cyan ink composition containing C.I. Reactive Blue 72 or C.I. Reactive Blue 15:1; and

a black ink composition containing C.I. Reactive Black 39.

7. An ink set comprising:

the first ink composition according to claim 3 ;

a yellow ink composition containing C.I. Reactive Yellow 95 or C.I. Reactive Yellow 2;

a cyan ink composition containing C.I. Reactive Blue 72 or C.I. Reactive Blue 15:1; and

a black ink composition containing C.I. Reactive Black 39.

8. An ink set comprising:

the first ink composition according to claim 4 ;

a yellow ink composition containing C.I. Reactive Yellow 95 or C.I. Reactive Yellow 2;

a cyan ink composition containing C.I. Reactive Blue 72 or C.I. Reactive Blue 15:1; and

a black ink composition containing C.I. Reactive Black 39.

9. An ink set comprising:

the first ink composition according to claim 5 ;

a yellow ink composition containing C.I. Reactive Yellow 95 or C.I. Reactive Yellow 2;

a cyan ink composition containing C.I. Reactive Blue 72 or C.I. Reactive Blue 15:1; and

a black ink composition containing C.I. Reactive Black 39.

10. A recording method comprising ejecting at least one ink composition from the ink set according to claim 1 from an ink jet recording head that has a nozzle plate containing fluorine in at least part of a surface thereof and having siloxane bonds less than 1 μm beneath the surface.

11. A recording method comprising ejecting the first ink composition according to claim 2 from an ink jet recording head that has a nozzle plate containing fluorine in at least part of a surface thereof and having siloxane bonds less than 1 μm beneath the surface.

12. A recording method comprising ejecting the first ink composition according to claim 3 from an ink jet recording head that has a nozzle plate containing fluorine in at least part of a surface thereof and having siloxane bonds less than 1 μm beneath the surface.

13. A recording method comprising ejecting the first ink composition according to claim 4 from an ink jet recording head that has a nozzle plate containing fluorine in at least part of a surface thereof and having siloxane bonds less than 1 μm beneath the surface.

14. A recording method comprising ejecting the first ink composition according to claim 5 from an ink jet recording head that has a nozzle plate containing fluorine in at least part of a surface thereof and having siloxane bonds less than 1 μm beneath the surface.

15. An ink composition for ink jet textile printing, the ink composition comprising:

at least one first dye represented by formula (I),

where R 1 denotes

R 2 denotes CH 3 or C 2 H 5 , and

R 3 denotes H, or

where X denotes H, Li, Na, or K,

with possible binding sites labeled with an asterisk; and

at least one second dye represented by formula (II),

where R 1 denotes SO 3 X or

R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 each independently denote H, SO 3 X, a halogen, or

and

X denotes H, Li, Na, or K,

with possible binding sites labeled with an asterisk.

16. An ink composition for ink jet textile printing, the ink composition comprising:

at least one first dye represented by formula (I),

where R 1 denotes

R 2 denotes H, CH 3 , or C 2 H 5 , and

R 3 denotes H or

where X denotes H, Li, Na, or K,

with possible binding sites labeled with an asterisk; and

at least one second dye represented by formula (II),

with possible binding sites labeled with an asterisk.
