Ink, inkjet recording method, and recorded matter
An ink contains water, a hydrosoluble organic solvent, a colorant, a resin A; and a resin B, wherein the content of the resin B is from 0.5% by weight to less than 10% by weight to the content of the resin A and the resin B has a minimum film-forming temperature at least 30° C. lower than that of the resin A.
1. An ink comprising:
water;
a hydrosoluble organic solvent;
a colorant;
a resin A; and
a resin B,
wherein a content of the resin B is from 0.5% by weight to less than 10% by weight to a content of the resin A and the resin B has a minimum film-forming temperature at least 30° C. lower than that of the resin A.
2. The ink according to claim 1 , wherein the resin A has a minimum film-forming temperature of from 40° C. to lower than 200° C.
3. The ink according to claim 1 , wherein one of the resin A and the resin B is a urethane resin.
4. The ink according to claim 3 , wherein the urethane resin is a polycarbonate-based urethane resin.
5. The ink according to claim 4 , wherein the polycarbonate-based urethane resin has a structure derived from at least one kind of an alicyclic diisocyanate.
6. The ink according to claim 1 , wherein the hydrosoluble organic solvent comprises at least one compound selected from the group consisting of 1,2-propane diol, 1,3-propane diol, 1,2-butane diol, 1,3-butane diol, and 2,3-butane diol.
7. An inkjet recording method comprising:
ejecting the ink of claim 1 by applying heat energy or mechanical energy to the ink to print an image on a recording medium.
8. The inkjet recording method according to claim 7 , further comprising heating the recording medium after the image is printed.
9. Recorded matter comprising:
a recording medium; and
an image formed on the recording medium using the ink of claim 1 .
