[PROBLEMS] To improve storage stability and wettability at a nozzle, reduce the flowability of a colorant to improve adhesion to a printing medium such as paper, and minimize bleeding between hues of a printed image. The present invention provides an ink composition, an ink cartridge, and an ink jet recording apparatus that improve the water resistance of a printed image and the scratch resistance in a dry and wet state to exhibit excellent dyeing fastness on a print medium. According to the present invention, an ink composition including a colorant using a dye or a pigment, an aqueous liquid solvent, or a mixed solvent of an aqueous liquid solvent and an organic solvent, a wetting agent, and an amide compound, an ink cartridge, An ink jet recording apparatus including these is also provided.
