Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An aqueous inkjet ink composition contains a pigment, an alkali-soluble resin, a polyolefin resin emulsion, a basic compound, an aqueous medium, and a surfactant, wherein the alkali-soluble resin is a copolymer of acrylic acid/lauryl acrylate/styrene; a glass transition temperature of the alkali-soluble resin is 45° C. to 95° C.; an average grain size of the polyolefin resin emulsion is 5 to 300 nm; a solids content of the polyolefin resin emulsion is 0.5 to 5.0 percent by mass in the aqueous inkjet ink composition; and the surfactant contains at least an acetylenediol-based surfactant. The aqueous inkjet ink composition is adapted to offering excellent high-gap discharge stability, antifouling property, adhesion, drying property, abrasion resistance, discharge stability, and preservation stability, even when printed on nonabsorbent media.

What is claimed: 1. An aqueous inkjet ink composition containing a pigment, an alkali-soluble resin, a polyolefin resin emulsion, a basic compound, an aqueous medium, and a surfactant, wherein the alkali-soluble resin is a copolymer of acrylic acid/lauryl acrylate/styrene, a glass transition temperature of the alkali-soluble resin is 45° C. to 95° C., an average grain size of the polyolefin resin emulsion is 5 to 300 nm, a solids content of the polyolefin resin emulsion is 0.5 to 5.0 percent by mass in the aqueous inkjet ink composition, and the surfactant contains at least an acetylenediol-based surfactant. 2. The aqueous inkjet ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the pigment is 2.0 to 6.0 percent by mass in the aqueous inkjet ink composition. 3. The aqueous inkjet ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polyolefin resin emulsion is a nonionic polyalkylene wax emulsion. 4. The aqueous inkjet ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the surfactant is 0.1 to 5.0 percent by mass in the aqueous inkjet ink composition. 5. The aqueous inkjet ink composition according to claim 1 , which is used in an inkjet recording device having a gap between an inkjet nozzle and a printing material, which is 3 mm or more. 6. An aqueous inkjet ink composition used in an inkjet recording device having a gap between an inkjet nozzle and a printing material, which is 3 mm or more, said aqueous inkjet ink composition containing a pigment, an alkali-soluble resin, a polyolefin resin emulsion, a basic compound, an aqueous medium, and a surfactant, wherein a glass transition temperature of the alkali-soluble resin is 45° C. to 95° C., an average grain size of the polyolefin resin emulsion is 5 to 300 nm, a solids content of the polyolefin resin emulsion is 0.5 to 5.0 percent by mass in the aqueous inkjet ink composition, and the surfactant contains at least an acetylenediol-based surfactant.
