<p>An object of the present invention is to provide a magenta ink for ink jet recording excellent in weathering resistance. An additional object of the present invention is to provide a magenta ink for ink jet recording which is preferably provided with a hue as magenta ink, exhibits a high stability in ejection and causes no defects in water resistance and image quality in addition to the aforesaid requirement. <??>The objects of the present invention are accomplished with an ink for ink jet recording comprising a magenta dye selected from azo dyes dissolved or dispersed in an aqueous medium, characterized in that said magenta dye is a dye having a absorption maximum in a spectral range of from 500 to 580 nm in said aqueous medium and a more positive oxidation potential than 1.0 V (vs SCE), particularly with the aforesaid ink for ink jet recording wherein the azo dye has a specific structure having a 5-membered heterocyclic ring and a 4-amino-6-membered heterocyclic ring connected to the azo group.</p> |
