Abstract

There is provided an ink composition, including: a dye (M-2); a dye (Y-1); an alkylene oxide adduct of acetylene glycol having a main chain of 12 or more carbon atoms; acetylene glycol having a main chain of 10 or more carbon atoms; and a polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether, in which the content ratio A of the dye (M-2) and the dye (Y-1) (the dye (M-2):the dye (Y-1)) is 1.25:1 to 4.75:1.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An ink composition, comprising:
a dye (M-2) represented by Formula (M-2);
a dye (Y-1) represented by Formula (Y-1);
an alkylene oxide adduct of acetylene glycol having a main chain of 12 or more carbon atoms;
acetylene glycol having a main chain of 10 or more carbon atoms; and
a polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether,
wherein the content ratio A of the dye (M-2) and the dye (Y-1) (the dye (M-2): the dye (Y-1)) is 1.25:1 to 4.75:1;

wherein in the formula (M-2), A M2 represents a 5-membered heterocyclic group; each of B M21 and B M22 represents —CR M21 ═ or —CR M22 ═, or any one of B M21 and B M22 represents a nitrogen atom and the other thereof represents —CR M21 ═ or —CR M22 ═; R M23 and R M24 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic group, an aromatic group, a heterocyclic group, an acyl group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an aryloxycarbonyl group, a carbamoyl group, an alkylsulfonyl group, an arylsulfonyl group, or a sulfamoyl group, and may further have a substituent; G M2 , R M21 , and R M22 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an aliphatic group, an aromatic group, a heterocyclic group, a cyano group, a carboxyl group, a carbamoyl group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an aryloxycarbonyl group, an acyl group, a hydroxy group, an alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, a silyloxy group, an acyloxy group, carbamoyloxy group, heterocyclic oxy group, an alkoxycarbonyloxy group, an aryloxycarbonyloxy group, an amino group substituted with an alkyl group, aryl group or heterocyclic group, an acylamino group, a ureido group, a sulfamoylamino group, an alkoxycarbonylamino group, an aryloxycarbonylamino group, an alkyl- or aryl-sulfonylamino group, a nitro group, an alkyl- or aryl-thio group, an alkyl- or aryl-sulfonyl group, an alkyl- or aryl-sulfinyl group, a sulfamoyl group, a sulfo group, or a heterocyclic thio group, and may be further substituted; and R M21 and R M23 or R M23 and R M24 may be bound to form a 5- or 6-membered ring;

wherein in the formula (Y-1), R 4 represents a substituent; R 5 represents —OR 6 or —NHR 7 wherein each of R 6 and R 7 represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent; X 3 represents a divalent linking group; n0 is 0 or 1; Ar 3 represents a divalent heterocyclic group; and Ar 4 represents an alkyl group, an aryl group, or a triazine group.

2. The ink composition according to claim 1 ,
wherein the dynamic contact angle of the ink composition to a silicon wafer is 24° or less in 100 msec after dropping, and is 9° or less in 5100 msec after dropping.

3. The ink composition according to claim 1 , further comprising: a triethylene glycol alkyl ether.

4. The ink composition according to claim 3 ,
wherein the mass ratio of the triethylene glycol alkyl ether to the polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether is 2 or more.

5. The ink composition according to claim 1 ,
wherein the content of the polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether is 1.0 mass % to 5.0 mass %.

6. The ink composition according to claim 3 ,
wherein the content of the triethylene glycol alkyl ether is 3.0 mass % to 15 mass %.

7. The ink composition according to claim 3 ,
wherein the triethylene glycol alkyl ether includes a triethylene glycol monobutyl ether.

8. The ink composition according to claim 1 ,
wherein the total content of the dye (M-2) and the dye (Y-1) is 2.0 mass % to 10.0 mass %.

9. An ink set, comprising:
the ink composition according to claim 1 ; and
at least one selected from the group consisting of a yellow ink composition, a magenta ink composition, a cyan ink composition, and a black ink composition.

10. An ink set, comprising:
the ink composition according to claim 2 ; and
at least one selected from the group consisting of a yellow ink composition, a magenta ink composition, a cyan ink composition, and a black ink composition.

11. An ink set, comprising:
the ink composition according to claim 3 ; and
at least one selected from the group consisting of a yellow ink composition, a magenta ink composition, a cyan ink composition, and a black ink composition.

12. An ink set, comprising:
the ink composition according to claim 4 ; and
at least one selected from the group consisting of a yellow ink composition, a magenta ink composition, a cyan ink composition, and a black ink composition.

13. An ink set, comprising:
the ink composition according to claim 5 ; and
at least one selected from the group consisting of a yellow ink composition, a magenta ink composition, a cyan ink composition, and a black ink composition.

14. An ink set, comprising:
the ink composition according to claim 6 ; and
at least one selected from the group consisting of a yellow ink composition, a magenta ink composition, a cyan ink composition, and a black ink composition.

15. An ink set, comprising:
the ink composition according to claim 7 ; and
at least one selected from the group consisting of a yellow ink composition, a magenta ink composition, a cyan ink composition, and a black ink composition.

16. An ink set, comprising:
