Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An ink composition for ink jet recording includes: a first phase containing a pigment, a cellulose derivative, and water; and a second phase containing an organic solvent having a 50% distillation point of 280° C. or lower, in which the content of the cellulose derivative in the first phase is 3 mass % to 15 mass % with respect to the total mass of the first phase.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An ink composition for ink jet recording, comprising: a first phase containing a pigment, a cellulose derivative, and water; and a second phase containing an organic solvent having a 50% distillation point of 280° C. or lower, wherein the content of the cellulose derivative in the first phase is 3 mass % to 15 mass % with respect to the total mass of the first phase; and wherein the etherification degree of the entire cellulose derivative is 0.6 to 1.0. 2. The ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the cellulose derivative is at least one selected from carboxymethyl cellulose and salts thereof, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, and methyl cellulose. 3. The ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio of the first phase to the total of the first phase and the second phase is 20 mass % to 60 mass %. 4. The ink composition according to claim 2 , wherein the ratio of the first phase to the total of the first phase and the second phase is 20 mass % to 60 mass %. 5. The ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the second phase contains an organic solvent having a 50% distillation point of 300° C. or higher. 6. The ink composition according to claim 2 , wherein the second phase contains an organic solvent having a 50% distillation point of 300° C. or higher. 7. The ink composition according to claim 3 , wherein the second phase contains an organic solvent having a 50% distillation point of 300° C. or higher. 8. The ink composition according to claim 4 , wherein the second phase contains an organic solvent having a 50% distillation point of 300° C. or higher. 9. The ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the number average molecular weight of the entire cellulose derivative is 10,000 to 150,000. 10. The ink composition according to claim 2 , wherein the number average molecular weight of the entire cellulose derivative is 10,000 to 150,000. 11. The ink composition according to claim 3 , wherein the number average molecular weight of the entire cellulose derivative is 10,000 to 150,000. 12. The ink composition according to claim 4 , wherein the number average molecular weight of the entire cellulose derivative is 10,000 to 150,000. 13. The ink composition according to claim 5 , wherein the number average molecular weight of the entire cellulose derivative is 10,000 to 150,000. 14. The ink composition according to claim 6 , wherein the number average molecular weight of the entire cellulose derivative is 10,000 to 150,000. 15. The ink composition according to claim 7 , wherein the number average molecular weight of the entire cellulose derivative is 10,000 to 150,000. 16. The ink composition according to claim 8 , wherein the number average molecular weight of the entire cellulose derivative is 10,000 to 150,000.
