Abstract

One embodiment relates to a water-based inkjet yellow ink containing a yellow pigment (A) having a specific partial structure, an organic solvent, a basic organic compound, and water, wherein an amount of the yellow pigment (A) is 1 to 10% by mass of a total mass of the water-based inkjet yellow ink, the basic organic compound contains 0.1 to 1.25% by mass of a basic organic compound (B) having a pKa value of 9.5 or less at 25° C. of the total mass of the water-based inkjet yellow ink, and an amount of an organic solvent having a boiling point of 240° C. or higher under 1 atmosphere is 5% by mass or less of the total mass of the water-based inkjet yellow ink.

Claims (23)

1. A water-based inkjet yellow ink comprising:

a yellow pigment (A) having a partial structure represented by general formula (1), an organic solvent, a basic organic compound, a binder resin, and water, wherein

an amount of the yellow pigment (A) is 1 to 10% by mass of a total mass of the water-based inkjet yellow ink;

the basic organic compound contains 0.1 to 1.25% by mass of a basic organic compound (B) having a pKa value of 9.5 or less at 25° C. of the total mass of the water-based inkjet yellow ink,

an amount of an organic solvent having a boiling point of 240° C. or higher under 1 atmosphere is 5% by mass or less of the total mass of the water-based inkjet yellow ink, and

the binder resin includes olefin resin microparticles, and

if an amine value of the yellow pigment (A) is Am (PA) [mgKOH/g], the amount of the yellow pigment (A) of the total mass of the water-based inkjet yellow ink is C (PA) [% by mass], an acid value of the olefin resin microparticles is Av (RO) [mgKOH/g], and an amount of the olefin resin microparticles of the total mass of the water-based inkjet yellow ink is C (RO) [% by mass], the acid value/amine value ratio represented by formula (8) shown below is 0.5×10 −4 to 15×10 −4 ,

wherein, general formula (1) has at least one bonding site, and

in general formula (1),

X 1 and X 2 represent both ═O or both ═CR 6 R 7 , or X 1 is ═O and X 2 is ═NR 8 ,

each R 1 to R 4 independently represents a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom,

R 5 represents a hydrogen atom or a bonding site,

each R 6 to R 8 represents a bonding site, and

Acid value/amine value ratio={Av(RO)×C(RO)}÷{Am(PA)×C(PA)}  formula (8).

2. The water-based inkjet yellow ink according to claim 1 , wherein

an amount of the basic organic compound (B) having a pKa value of 9.5 or less at 25° C. is 0.1 to 1% by mass of the total mass of the water-based inkjet yellow ink.

3. The water-based inkjet yellow ink according to claim 1 , wherein

the yellow pigment (A) includes C. I. Pigment Yellow 139 and/or C. I. Pigment Yellow 185.

4. The water-based inkjet yellow ink according to claim 1 , wherein

an amount of impurities contained in the yellow pigment (A) is 5% by mass or less of a total mass of the yellow pigment (A).

5. A inkjet ink set comprising:

the water-based inkjet yellow ink according to claim 1 , and

a water-based inkjet magenta ink containing magenta pigment and water.
