The present invention relates to a liquidncomposition, an ink set employing the liquidncomposition, a method for forming a colored area of annimage on a recording medium with the ink-set, and annink-jet recording apparatus employing the ink set arenprovided, which enables formation of ink-jet record onna plain paper sheet with a broad color reproductionnrange, uniformity of the color, less stripy unevennessnin a solid print part, and high rub-off resistance ofnthe record. The liquid composition is stable innstorage, and is ejected stably from the recording head. n The liquid composition is used for forming ancolored area on a recordingnmedium by application withnan anionic or cationic aqueous ink containing ancoloring material, and the liquid composition containsnfine particles dispersed therein and the surface of thenfine particles being electrically charged in a polaritynopposite to the aqueous ink. |
