| abstract |
An ink set, exhibiting good ink permeability and fixation, capable of yielding high quality images with no roughness, or an ink set capable of yielding text and/or images of outstanding light resistance, is provided. The ink set of the present invention comprises a dark ink composition and a light ink composition that, while being mutually the same color, are of different color density, and is characterized in that the dark ink composition and the light ink composition each comprise a pigment as a colorant and a resin as a dispersant, in that the ratio between the resin weight proportion B 1 and the pigment weight proportion P 1 in the dark ink composition (i.e. B 1 /P 1 ) is lower than the ratio between the resin weight proportion B 2 and the pigment weight proportion P 2 in the light ink composition (i.e. B 2 /P 2 ), and in that B 1 and B 2 differ from each other. |
