Abstract
Provided is an elastic member for ink jet, including a styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer and a thermoplastic resin, in which the elastic member further includes at least a nonionic surfactant having an ethylene oxide adduct, and the content of the nonionic surfactant is 0.1 to 5 mass % with respect to the styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer. The elastic member has sufficient releasability and high liquid-contact properties, which suppresses clogging of ejection orifices due to precipitation when eluted in ink.
