INK FOR INK-JET PRINTER AND INK-JET PRINTING METHOD Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC C09D11/00 B41J2/01 B41M5/00 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention pertains to ink for an ink-jet printer. Description is given of the ink for an ink-jet printer, containing 62-77 mass % water, 10-18 mass % dye, X (%), water soluble organic substance 1 and 2.0-15 mass %, Y (%), water soluble organic substance 2. Viscosity of the ink ranges from 1 to 5 cP at 25°C, content X (%) of substance 1 and content Y (%) of substance 2 satisfies the relationship in formula (I) and formula (II): (I) 0.15 ≤ Y/X ≤ 0.9; (II) 15 mass % ≤ X+ Y ≤ 32 mass %. Compound 1 is a water-retaining water soluble organic compound, with difference between the water-retention capacity in a surrounding medium at 23°C and humidity of 45% and water-retention capacity in a surrounding medium at 30°C and 80% humidity at 36% or less. Compound 2 is a water soluble organic compound, different from the dye and from the water soluble organic compound 1.

EFFECT: proposed ink sufficiently suppresses the effect of twisting printing material and provides for stable injection.
