Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An inkjet ink contains at least a first carbon black, a second carbon black, and water. The first carbon black has a DBP oil absorption of less than 130 mL/100 g and a BET specific surface area of less than 300 m2/g. The second carbon black has a DBP oil absorption of at least 130 mL/100 g and a BET specific surface area of at least 300 m2/g.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . An inkjet ink comprising at least: a first carbon black having a DBP oil absorption of less than 130 mL/100 g and a BET specific surface area of less than 300 m 2 /g; a second carbon black having a DBP oil absorption of at least 130 mL/100 g and a BET specific surface area of at least 300 m 2 /g; and water. 2 . The inkjet ink according to claim 1 , wherein a difference between the DBP oil absorption of the first carbon black and the DBP oil absorption of the second carbon black is at least 20 mL/100 g and no greater than 110 mL/100 g. 3 . The inkjet ink according to claim 1 , wherein a difference between the BET specific surface area of the first carbon black and the BET specific surface area of the second carbon black is at least 50 m 2 /g and no greater than 400 m 2 /g. 4 . The inkjet ink according to claim 1 , which has a shear viscosity of at least 6 mPa·s and no greater than 8 mPa·s at a temperature of 39° C. and a shearing speed of 50 s −1 , and a shear viscosity of at least 4 mPa·s and no greater than 6 mPa·s at a temperature of 39° C. and a shearing speed of 100,000 s −1 . 5 . The inkjet ink according to claim 1 , which has a dynamic surface tension at a surface age of 10 milliseconds of at least 39.0 mN/m and no greater than 43.0 mN/m as measured by a maximum bubble pressure method, and a dynamic surface tension at a surface age of 50 milliseconds of at least 36.0 mN/m and no greater than 41.0 mN/m as measured by the maximum bubble pressure method. 6 . The inkjet ink according to claim 1 , which has a dynamic surface tension at a surface age of 50 milliseconds of at least 40.0 mN/m as measured by a maximum bubble pressure method, and a relaxation time of at least 20 milliseconds and no greater than 50 milliseconds as measured by the maximum bubble pressure method.
