An ink set is provided which, when used in color ink-jet printing, can give a full-color printed image having a satisfactory hue and brightness and excellent in various fastness properties. More specifically, an ink set for ink-jet recording is provided that is an ink set of at least two colors which includes at least two ink compositions, i.e., a cyan ink composition and a magenta ink composition. The cyan ink composition contains a cyan dye which is a dye represented by the following formula (7) or a salt thereof. The magenta ink composition contains a magenta dye which is a dye represented by the following formula (6) or a salt thereof. 

Ink set, recording method, and colored object

Disclosed is a dye compound for black ink which has high solubility in media composed mainly of water and which is stable even when a high-concentration aqueous solution and ink are stored over a long term. The density of printed images is very high, and even if a high-concentration solution is used for printing, no bronzing occurs in the images, and black recorded images are provided with which all aspects of printed image durability, particularly light resistance and ozone gas resistance, are excellent. Also disclosed is an ink composition thereof. Trisazo compounds represented by general formula (1) or tautomers thereof or salts thereof are used as said dye compound for black ink.  In formula (1), group A represents a 2-naphthothiazolyl group, Rrepresents a substitutable C1 to C4 alkyl group or the like, Rrepresents a cyano group or the like, Rand Rindependently represent a hydrogen atom, a sulfo group, or the like, Rto Rindependently represent a hydrogen atom, a substitutable C1 to C4 alkyl group, or a substitutable C1 to C4 alkoxy group, or the like, and Rto Rindependently represent a hydrogen atom, a substitutable C1 to C4 alkyl group, a substitutable C1 to C4 alkxy group, a substitutable C1 to C4 alkylthio group, or the like.

Trisazo compound, ink composition, recording method and colored body

The present invention relates to a water-soluble azo compound represented by the following formula (1) or a salt thereof: wherein, R represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, n represents an integer number of 1 or 2, x represents an integer number of 2 to 4 and y represents an integer number of 2 to 11, respectively and an ink composition containing this; and provides a yellow coloring matter which has a highly vivid hue suitable for inkjet recording, gives various high fastnesses to recorded matter and is excellent in storage stability when prepared as an ink composition, and an ink composition containing this.

Water-soluble azo compound or salt thereof, ink composition and colored product

The present invention relates to a porphyrazine coloring matter represented by the following formula (1) or a salt thereof; wherein, each of the rings A to D independently represents a benzene ring or a 6-membered nitrogen-containing heteroaromatic ring, at least one or more thereof is a benzene ring, at least one of the rest is a nitrogen-containing heteroaromatic ring, E represents alkylene, X is an anilino group having a substituent and the like, Y represents an amino group; a hydroxy group; a mono- or di-alkylamino group or a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group which may have a substituent, excepting for the combination in which Y is an amino group or a hydroxy group and X is a substituted anilino group, b is 0 to 2.9, c is 0.1 to 3, and the sum of b and c is 1 to 3. According to the present invention, a porphyrazine coloring matter suitable for inkjet recording which has a good hue as a cyan ink, is excellent in light fastness, ozone fastness and moisture fastness, and causes no bronze phenomenon can be provided.

Porphyrazine coloring matter, ink, ink set, and colored product

The present invention relates to a water-soluble azo compound or a salt thereof represented by the following formula (1): (wherein, R represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a sulfo group, n, m, x and y represent an integer of 1 or 2, 1 to 3, 2 to 4 and 1 to 3, respectively.) and an ink composition containing the same; the above compound or a salt thereof has a hue possessing a high vividness suitable for inkjet recording, provides various fastnesses to recorded matters, and is useful as a yellow coloring matter excellent in storage stability when prepared into an ink composition, and suitable for ink compositions, especially inks for inkjet recording.

The present invention relates to a porphyrazine coloring matter represented by the following formula (1): (wherein, A, B, C and D independently represent a 6-membered ring having aromaticity, at least one or more of them are benzene rings and at least one or more of them contain nitrogen-containing heteroaromatic rings; E represents alkylene, X is a substituted anilino group and have at least one or more of sulfo group, carboxy group and phosphono group as a substituent, Y represents a hydroxy group or an amino group, b is respectively 0 to 2.9, c is 0.1 to 3, and the sum of b and c is 1 to 3) in free acid form, which is suitable for inkjet recording because it has good hue as a cyan ink, is excellent in light fastness, ozone fastness and moisture fastness, and does not cause bronzing phenomenon.

Porphyrazine coloring matter, ink, ink set and colored article

The present invention relates to a porphyrazine coloring matter represented by the following formula (1): (wherein, A, B, C and D independently represents a 6-membered ring having aromaticity, at least one or more is a benzene ring, at least one or more contains a nitrogen-containing heteroaromatic ring; in addition, E represents alkylene and each of X and Y independently represents a substituted or unsubstituted anilino group or a substituted or unsubstituted naphthylamino group; and b is 0 to 2.9, c is 0.1 to 3 and the sum of b and c is 1 to 3) which has a good hue as a cyan ink, is excellent in light fastness, ozone fastness and moisture fastness, and does not cause bronze phenomenon, as well as is thus suitable for inkjet recording.
