Abstract
A hot-melt ink composition comprising at least one composition of: (a) a cyan ink composition containing a cyan pigment as a colorant, wherein the cyan ink composition shows a maximum chroma C* on a recording medium of 45 or higher, a hue angle H,at the maximum chroma of from 240° to 270° and a color difference &Dgr;E* of 3 or smaller as measured through 100-hour irradiation with xenon lamp light at a luminous energy of 0.35 W/m,and a wavelength of 340 nm; (b) a yellow ink composition containing a yellow pigment as a colorant, wherein the yellow ink composition shows a maximum chroma C* on a recording medium of 70 or higher, a hue angle H,at the maximum chroma of from 90° to 110° and a color difference &Dgr;E* of 5 or smaller as measured through 100-hour irradiation with xenon lamp light at a luminous energy of 0.35 W/m,and a wavelength of 340 nm; and (c) a magenta ink composition containing a magenta pigment as a colorant, wherein the magenta ink composition shows a maximum chroma C* on a recording medium of 60 or higher, a hue angle H,at the maximum chroma of from 340° to 360° and a color difference &Dgr;E* of 5 or smaller as measured through 100-hour irradiation with xenon lamp light at a luminous energy of 0.35 W/m,and a wavelength of 340 nm.
