Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An oil-based inkjet is disclosed, the oil-based inkjet ink containing a pigment, a pigment dispersant and a non-aqueous solvent, wherein the non-aqueous solvent contains a silicone oil having a surface tension of at least 19.0 mN/m but less than 24.0 mN/m and a polar solvent having a surface tension of at least 27.0 mN/m, and a surface tension of the ink is at least 23.0 mN/m but less than 27.0 mN/m.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An oil-based inkjet ink comprising a pigment, a pigment dispersant and a non-aqueous solvent, wherein the non-aqueous solvent contains a silicone oil having a surface tension of at least 19.0 mN/m but less than 24.0 mN/m at 23° C. and a polar solvent having a surface tension of at least 27.0 mN/m at 23° C., a surface tension of the ink is at least 23.0 mN/m but less than 27.0 mN/m 23° C., and the pigment dispersant is adsorbed directly to a surface of the pigment. 2. The oil-based inkjet ink according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of the silicone oil is at least 5% by mass relative to the total mass of the ink. 3. The oil-based inkjet ink according to claim 1 , wherein the silicone oil contains a modified silicone oil. 4. The oil-based inkjet ink according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of the silicone oil is at least 5% by mass relative to the total mass of the ink, and the silicone oil contains a modified silicone oil. 5. The oil-based inkjet ink according to claim 1 , wherein a surface tension of the ink is at least 24.0 mN/m but less than 26.0 mN/m at 23° C. 6. The oil-based inkjet ink according to claim 1 , wherein a surface tension of the silicone oil is at least 20.0 mN/m but not more than 23.0 mN/m at 23° C. 7. The oil-based inkjet ink according to claim 1 , wherein a surface tension of the polar solvent is at least 30.0 mN/m at 23° C. 8. The oil-based inkjet ink according to claim 1 , wherein the polar solvent comprises at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of ester-based solvents, higher alcohol-based solvents, higher fatty acid-based solvents, and glycol ether-based solvents. 9. The oil-based inkjet ink according to claim 3 , wherein the modified silicone oil comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of an alkyl-modified silicone oil, an aryl-modified silicone oil, a carboxylate ester-modified silicone oil, and an alkylene-modified silicone oil.
