INK, INK CARTRIDGE AND INK JET RECORDING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ink jet ink that is capable of recording an image excellent in light resistance and ozone resistance and has excellent intermittent ejection stability.SOLUTION: The ink jet ink contains a coloring material and a water-soluble organic solvent. The coloring material is a compound represented by the specified general formula (I). The water-soluble organic solvent contains ethylene urea and an alkanediol having 4 to 6 (inclusive) carbon atoms, and the content A (mass%) of the coloring material, the content B (mass%) of the ethylene urea and the content C (mass%) of the alkanediol having 4 to 6 carbon atoms based on the total mass of the ink satisfy relationships of 0.20≤B/A≤10.0 and 0.10≤C/A≤10.0.
