［産業上の利用分野］
本発明は、液体インクにより画像記録を行う画像記録用
インクに関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an image recording ink for recording an image using liquid ink.
［従来の技術］
従来、インクジェット等の液体インクは、記録紙に付着
した際、第２図に示す如く、毛細管現象により記録紙の
セルロース繊維に沿ってインクが流れる為に印字・画像
の品質が著しく低下する。[Prior Art] Conventionally, when liquid ink such as inkjet ink adheres to recording paper, the quality of prints and images deteriorates because the ink flows along the cellulose fibers of the recording paper due to capillary action, as shown in Figure 2. Significantly decreased.
又、印字スピードをあげるとインクの乾燥性が悪いため
、紙を重ね合ねた際に裏写りが生じたり、字汚れ、尾引
き等が生じる。又、プロセスカラーを重ねるフルカラー
画像を作製すると混色による画像のにじみ、ボケが生じ
る。Furthermore, when the printing speed is increased, the drying properties of the ink are poor, resulting in show-through, smudged letters, trailing, etc. when sheets are stacked on top of each other. Furthermore, when a full-color image is created by overlapping process colors, the image blurs and blurs occur due to color mixture.
この様な観点から、従来種々の普通紙記録用インクが提
案されている。From this point of view, various inks for recording on plain paper have been proposed.

方法および特開昭５８−１３６７５号公報には、インク

ツトの広がりと紙への吸収性を制御する方法が提案され
ている。For example, JP-A No. 55-29546 proposes adding a specific surfactant to lower the surface tension and increase the absorption of ink into paper.
Publication No. 862 discloses a method and characteristics for controlling dot spread and absorbency by chemically dissolving sizing agents and pulp materials, which are water-resistant treatment agents for plain paper, by adding a strong basic substance to increase the pH (pH). Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-13675 proposes a method in which polyvinylpyrrolidone having a molecular weight of 40,000 or more is added to ink to control dot spread and absorption into paper.
［発明が解決しようとする課題］
しかしこのような従来の提案のものでは、次のような問
題があった。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, such conventional proposals have the following problems.
普通紙に対して高速印刷を行った場合、それぞれ一定の
効果は認められるものの、界面活性剤を含むインクでは
、乾燥は速くなるが表面張力が低いために紙の繊維に沿
ったインクの拡散が改良されずにじみが生じ、印字品質
が劣化する。When printing at high speed on plain paper, each has a certain effect, but ink containing surfactants dries faster but has a lower surface tension, so the ink spreads along the paper fibers. Without improvement, bleeding occurs and print quality deteriorates.
又、界面活性剤による泡立ちが生じるため記録ヘッドの
ノズル内に気泡が入りやすいために安定した吐出が得ら
れない等の問題点があった。Furthermore, since bubbles are generated by the surfactant, air bubbles tend to enter the nozzles of the recording head, making it impossible to obtain stable ejection.
又、強塩基物質を含むインクでは、インクの吸収性・定
着性は高いが、乾燥性は悪く、尾引きおよび紙の繊維に
沿ったインクの拡散が改良されずにじみが生じ、満足で
きる印字品質が得られないという問題があった。In addition, ink containing strong basic substances has high ink absorption and fixing properties, but has poor drying properties, resulting in trailing and bleeding due to poor ink diffusion along paper fibers, resulting in unsatisfactory print quality. The problem was that it was not possible to obtain
又、分子量４万以上のポリビニルピロリドンを含むイン
クでは、ノズルの目づまりに対するマージンが非常に低
く、また乾燥性が悪いため尾引きが生じるという問題が
あった。Furthermore, ink containing polyvinylpyrrolidone with a molecular weight of 40,000 or more has a very low margin against nozzle clogging and has poor drying properties, resulting in trailing.
そこで、本発明はこのような問題点を解決するもので、
本発明の第１の目的は、液体インクにより画像記録を行

The first object of the present invention is to use a printing device that records an image using liquid ink to print and print on any transfer material.
An object of the present invention is to provide an image recording ink that enables high-density, high-gloss printing without image bleeding.
本発明の第２の目的は、乾燥・定着が速く、尾引きのな
い、高速及びプロセスカラーを重ねることによるフルカ
ラー画像を可能にする画像記録用インクを提供すること
にある。A second object of the present invention is to provide an image recording ink that dries and fixes quickly, does not cause trailing, and allows full-color images to be produced by superimposing process colors at high speeds.
本発明の第３の目的は、ノズル内・インク流通経路・ス
リット内で目詰まりの生じない吐出安定性及び信頼性に
優れた画像記録用インクを提供することにある。A third object of the present invention is to provide an image recording ink that has excellent ejection stability and reliability and does not cause clogging in nozzles, ink distribution channels, or slits.
［課題を解決するための手段］
本発明の画像記録用インクは、液体インクにより画像記
録を行う印写装置に用いる画像記録用インクが、チキソ
トロピー的流動特性を持つことを特徴とする。[Means for Solving the Problems] The image recording ink of the present invention is characterized in that the image recording ink used in a printing device that records images using liquid ink has thixotropic flow characteristics.
又、チキソトロピー的流動特性を付与する手段として、

な流動特性の変化（粘度上昇）のため、インク流れが生
じず、にじまず、すばやく固化・定着する。[Example] According to the above configuration of the present invention, the image recording ink is the first
As shown in the figure, there is a continuous type that uses thixotropic flow characteristics to generate ink droplets continuously and controls the charge of the droplets, an on-demand type that ejects ink droplets only when necessary for printing, and a super type. The viscosity is easily lowered when micro droplets are generated under high sliding speeds such as ink mist type using sound waves, etc., so when flying, uniform micro droplets with excellent ejection stability and no satellites are flown. On the contrary, after the ink flies, the flow characteristics suddenly change (increase in viscosity) on the transfer medium, so the ink does not flow, does not bleed, and quickly solidifies and fixes.
すなわち本発明は、＠像記録用インクが飛翔しやすいた
めには粘度は低いほうがよく、被転写体上では、粘度は
高いほうが印字品質は良好になるということを満足する
ことができる。That is, the present invention satisfies the fact that the lower the viscosity, the better the image recording ink will fly, and the higher the viscosity, the better the print quality on the transfer target.
又、保存時は比較的粘度を高く設定できるため、通常、
分散安定・保存性の悪い顔料等を用いた不均一系のイン

It is also possible to use a heterogeneous ink that uses pigments that have poor dispersion stability and poor storage stability.
