Aqueous ink, ink set, image forming method and image forming apparatus

摘要

An aqueous ink to be used together with a pigment ink containing a pigment and a polymer, wherein the aqueous ink contains a reactive component for destabilizing the dispersion state of the pigment, the dynamic surface tension of the aqueous ink at a lifetime of 30 milliseconds is 41 mN/m or more, and the dynamic surface tension of the aqueous ink at a lifetime of 500 milliseconds is from 28 mN/m or more to 38 mN/m or less as determined by a maximum bubble pressure method.
