Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An object is to obtain a white ink which is easy to redisperse and is re-dispersible by being shaken several tens of times with weak force at most, or alternatively, without being shaken. As a solution, a white ink composition is provided which contains 50.0% by mass or less of a titanium oxide pigment treated with silica, alumina, and contains an organic compound in a solid content of the white ink composition, and contains 5.0 parts by mass or more of an alkali-soluble resin whose weight-average molecular weight is 28,000 to 100,000 relative to 100 parts by mass of the titanium oxide pigment, and further contains a water-dispersible resin and water.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A white ink composition comprising: 50.0% by mass or less of a titanium oxide pigment treated with silica, alumina, and an organic compound in a solid content of the white ink composition; 5.0 parts by mass or more of an alkali-soluble resin whose weight-average molecular weight is 28,000 to 100,000 relative to 100 parts by mass of the titanium oxide pigment; and a water-dispersible resin and water. 2 . The white ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the alkali-soluble resin whose weight-average molecular weight is 28,000 to 100,000 has a ratio, by mass of constituting monomers, of (styrene)/(alkyl ester of radical polymerizable unsaturated carboxylic acid with 8 or more carbon atoms)/((meth)acrylic acid) in a range of (35 to 55)/(25 to 35)/(15 to 35). 3 . The white ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the alkali-soluble resin whose weight-average molecular weight is 28,000 to 100,000 has an acid value of 40 mgKOH/g or more. 4 . The white ink composition according to claim 1 , comprising 40.0 to 80.0% by mass of a water-dispersible resin in a solid content of the white ink composition. 5 . The white ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the water-dispersible resin is an acrylic-based resin and/or a styrene acrylic-based resin whose acid value is 20 mgKOH/g or less. 6 . The white ink composition according to claim 1 , being intended for inkjet printing.
