Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An aqueous inkjet ink composition containing a pigment, an alkali-soluble resin, a surfactant, a water-soluble solvent, colloidal silica, and water, in which the surfactant includes a surfactant having an HLB value equal to or greater than 3 and less than 10 and a surfactant having an HLB value of 10-20 (inclusive), the water-soluble solvent has a boiling point of 170-250° C. (inclusive) at 1 atm, and the percentage of the colloidal silica in the aqueous inkjet ink composition is 0.05-2 mass % (inclusive). The aqueous inkjet ink composition has excellent storage stability, mechanical stability, discharge stability, coating film drying properties, and cissing resistance.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An aqueous inkjet ink composition comprising a pigment, an alkali-soluble resin, a surfactant, a water-soluble solvent, colloidal silica, and water, wherein the surfactant contains a surfactant (A) having an HLB value of 3 or more and less than 10, and a surfactant (B) having an HLB value of 10 or more and 20 or less, the water-soluble solvent represents 15% by mass or more and 60% by mass or less in the aqueous inkjet ink composition, and has a boiling point of 170° C. or more and 250° C. or less at 1 atm, and a proportion of the colloidal silica is 0.05% by mass or more and 2% by mass or less in the aqueous inkjet ink composition. 2. The aqueous inkjet ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the water-soluble solvent is one or more solvents selected from the group consisting of monoalcohols, polyhydric alcohols, lower alkyl ethers of polyhydric alcohols, and nitrogen-containing compounds. 3. The aqueous inkjet ink composition according to claim 1 , further comprising a resin emulsion. 4. A printed matter obtained by performing printing using the aqueous inkjet ink composition according to claim 1 . 5. An inkjet printing method, comprising printing an object to be printed on a non-absorbent print medium using the aqueous inkjet ink composition according to claim 1 . 6. The aqueous inkjet ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the pigment contains a yellow pigment, a magenta pigment, a cyan pigment, or a black pigment. 7. The aqueous inkjet ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the surfactant (A) is an acetylene-based surfactant, and the surfactant (B) is an acetylene-based surfactant.
