Abstract

A liquid composition including a fluorinated nonionic surfactant and a water-soluble inclusion compound. The liquid composition can be used for forming images on a recording medium.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An image recording method comprising a step of applying a liquid composition to a recording medium, the liquid composition containing:
a fluorinated nonionic surfactant; and a water-soluble inclusion compound.

2 . The image recording method according to claim 1 , wherein the inclusion compound is at least one of a cyclodextrin and a cyclodextrin derivative.

3 . The image recording method according to claim 1 , wherein a content (% by mass) of the inclusion compound is 8.0 times or less as much as a content (% by mass) of the nonionic surfactant in terms of mass ratio.

4 . The image recording method according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid composition further contains a coloring material.

5 . The image recording method according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid composition further contains a reactant that increases a viscosity of an ink containing a coloring material when the reactant comes into contact with the ink.

6 . The image recording method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of applying a liquid composition to a recording medium is a step ejecting the liquid composition from an ink jet recording head to apply the liquid composition to the recording medium.

7 . The image recording method according to claim 6 , wherein the liquid composition is ejected from the recording head having a temperature of 35° C. or more.

8 . The image recording method according to claim 1 , wherein the recording medium is a liquid-component-non-absorbable or -poorly-absorbable recording medium.

9 . The image recording method according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid composition is applied to the recording medium having a temperature of 35° C. or more.

10 . The image recording method according to claim 1 , wherein the recording medium is an intermediate transfer member.

11 . A liquid composition comprising:
a fluorinated nonionic surfactant; and a water-soluble inclusion compound.

12 . An image recording method comprising a step of applying a liquid composition to a recording medium, the liquid composition containing:
a pigment; a silicon-based nonionic surfactant; and a water-soluble inclusion compound, wherein a content (% by mass) of the nonionic surfactant is 0.5% by mass or more.

13 . The image recording method according to claim 12 , wherein the liquid composition further contains at least one of a water-soluble resin and a particulate resin.

14 . The image recording method according to claim 12 , wherein the liquid composition further contains a reactant that increases a viscosity of an ink containing a coloring material when the reactant comes into contact with the ink.

15 . The image recording method according to claim 12 , wherein a content (% by mass) of the nonionic surfactant is 0.5% by mass or more.

16 . The image recording method according to claim 12 , wherein the inclusion compound is at least one of a cyclodextrin and a cyclodextrin derivative.

17 . The image recording method according to claim 12 , wherein a content (% by mass) of the inclusion compound is 8.0 times or less as much as a content (% by mass) of the nonionic surfactant in terms of mass ratio.

18 . An image recording method comprising a step of applying a liquid composition to a recording medium, the liquid composition containing:
a dye; a silicon-based nonionic surfactant; and a water-soluble inclusion compound.

19 . An image recording method comprising a step of applying a liquid composition to a recording medium, the liquid composition containing:
a silicon-based nonionic surfactant; and a water-soluble inclusion compound, wherein the liquid composition contains no coloring material.

20 . A liquid composition comprising:
a pigment; a silicon-based nonionic surfactant; and a water-soluble inclusion compound, wherein a content (% by mass) of the nonionic surfactant is 0.5% by mass or more.

21 . A liquid composition comprising:
a dye; a silicon-based nonionic surfactant; and a water-soluble inclusion compound.

22 . A liquid composition comprising:
a silicon-based nonionic surfactant; and a water-soluble inclusion compound, wherein the liquid composition contains no coloring material.
