Active-energy-ray-curable inkjet ink composition, active-energy-ray-curable inkjet ink, and inkjet recording method

Provided is an ultraviolet curable inkjet ink and an inkjet image formation method that uses said inkjet ink. The inkjet ink can be ejected from an inkjet head without being diluted by a solvent, has high photo curing sensitivity and produces high quality images with excellent weather resistance (smear resistance). The inkjet ink is characterized by a polymerizable compound which contains a maleimide compound having a chiral group and a compound selected from a vinyl ether compound and a N-vinyl compound.

Inkjet ink and inkjet image formation method using same

The invention provides a non-aqueous jet printing ink which has printability (abrasion resistance and resistivity to wiping with alcohol) suitable for recording media made of plastics such as polyvinyl chloride and which is excellent in safety and can be used without problematic odor, and a method of ink-jet recording with the ink. The non-aqueous jet printing ink is characterized by containing, as the essential components, a pigment, a pigment derivative having an acid group, a fixing resin, and a compound (A) consisting of one or more members selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by the general formulae (1) and (2).

Non-aqueous ink-jet ink and ink-jet recording method

The present invention provides an actinic energy radiation curable ink-jet ink exhibiting excellent ink storage stability, nozzle ink repellency, and ejection stability, and also exhibiting excellent curability, anti-abrasion properties, solvent resistance, flexibility, weather resistance, and substrate adhesion properties even under various ambience factors and irradiation conditions, as well as an ink-jet recording method and printed matter using the same. In an actinic energy radiation curable ink-jet ink containing a cationically polymerizable compound and a photo-cationic polymerization initiator, an actinic energy radiation curable ink-jet ink wherein a cationically polymerizable compound having a vinyl ether group as a reactive group is contained at 50.0% by mass or more and the halogen ion content is 1.0 &#x3bc;g/g of the ink-100 &#x3bc;g/g of the ink.

Actinic energy radiation curable ink-jet ink, ink-jet recording method, and printed matter

Disclosed is a nonaqueous ink jet ink that is suitable for printing (scratch resistance and resistance to alcohol wiping) on recording media of plastics such as polyvinyl chloride, is highly safe, can be used without posing any problem of odor, has excellent properties of ink ejection from an ink jet head, and can realize a good printed image quality. Also disclosed are a process for producing a nonaqueous ink jet ink and an ink jet recording method using the nonaqueous ink jet ink. The process for producing a nonaqueous ink jet ink is a process for producing a nonaqueous ink jet ink containing at least an organic solvent, a pigment, and a fixing resin. The process is characterized in that the fixing resin satisfies a b/a value of not more than 0.020 wherein a represents the tall of integrated values of areas of all of peaks derived from the fixing resin among all of peaks detected in a proton nuclear magnetic resonance analysis; and b represents the total of integrated values of areas of all of peaks derived from the compounds other than the fixing resin.
