Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An object is to provide a method for storing or transporting an aqueous white ink composition for inkjet that does not cause precipitation of a pigment therein during storage for a long period or transport, and allows the pigment to be easily redispersed even if precipitation occurs. As means for solving the problems, a storing method is provided that includes placing an aqueous white ink composition for inkjet containing titanium oxide and a pigment dispersant in a tank and maintaining the entire aqueous white ink composition for inkjet in the tank at a temperature of −5 to −35° C.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1. A storing method comprising: placing an aqueous white ink composition for inkjet containing titanium oxide and a pigment dispersant in a tank; and maintaining the entire aqueous white ink composition for inkjet in the tank to have a temperature of −5 to −35° C., wherein the aqueous white ink composition for inkjet contains resin particles, wherein the resin particles are contained as at least one selected from a polyurethane resin emulsion, an acrylic-based resin emulsion, a paraffin wax emulsion, a polyethylene wax emulsion, and a polyester-based resin, wherein the pigment dispersant contains a copolymer of styrene, lauryl acrylate, and acrylic acid. 2. The storing method according to claim 1 , wherein the titanium oxide comprises either titanium oxide that has been subjected to, for example, surface treatment with any of silica, silica and alumina, and a silane coupling agent, or titanium oxide that has not been subjected to a surface treatment. 3. The storing method according to claim 1 , wherein the titanium oxide comprises either titanium oxide that has been subjected to, for example, surface treatment with any of silica, silica and alumina, and a silane coupling agent, or titanium oxide that has not been subjected to a surface treatment.
