Provided is an ink set including: an ink containing a cyan pigment; an ink containing a magenta pigment; and an ink containing a yellow pigment, wherein the proportion of the cyan pigment is 0.70% by mass or greater but 1.40% by mass or less, and wherein the proportion of the magenta pigment and the proportion of the yellow pigment are both higher than the proportion of the cyan pigment.

Ink set, printer, and printing method

A printing method includes discharging ink to a substrate, heating a non-ink-discharged side of the substrate at T, and heating an ink-discharged side of the substrate at T, wherein the ink contains an organic solvent A (boiling point lower than 250 degrees C.), an organic solvent B (boiling point of 250 degrees C.), and a resin, where 0 degrees C. C≤T−T≤90 degrees C. is satisfied, the proportion (organic solvent A/ink) is 30 percent by mass or less, the proportion (organic solvent B/ink) is 1 to 3 percent by mass, the proportion (resin/ink) is 5 to 15 percent by mass, the ink has a viscosity of 8.0 to 11.0 mPa-s at 25 degrees C. and 5.5 to 11.0 mPa-s at 36 degrees C., and a 2.5 μL ink droplet discharged to the substrate shrinks to 0.1 μL within 10.0 seconds at 25 degrees C.

Printing method and printing device

Provided is a liquid discharging apparatus including: a storage storing an ink containing water, an organic solvent, at least two kinds of urethane resins, and titanium oxide; and a liquid discharging head. The liquid discharging head includes an individual liquid chamber having a circulation flow path through which the ink is circulated. The liquid discharging head has a nozzle communicating with the individual liquid chamber and through which a liquid droplet of the ink is discharged. The content of the titanium oxide in the ink is 20% by mass or greater but 30% by mass or less. The volume average particle diameter of the titanium oxide is 300 nm or greater but 630 nm or less.

Liquid discharging apparatus and liquid discharging method

An ink including water, an organic solvent, and a polyurethane resin particle is provided. A rate of content of a compound having a molecular weight of 1,000 or less and having a structure represented by the following general formula (I) in the ink is 10 ppm or less.
