| abstract |
An ink for ink-jet recording contains tripropylene glycol normal butyl ether or dipropylene glycol normal propyl ether, an acrylic polymer, a water-insoluble coloring agent, and water. The ink simultaneously satisfies the straight travel stability of ink droplets during the discharge with an ink-jet recording apparatus, the recovery performance upon introduction into a recording head of the ink-jet recording apparatus, the fixation performance of printed matters, and the drying performance after the printing. |
