<p>An ink composition for ink jet recording is provided which comprises at least a pigment, a 1,2-alkanediol, glycerin, a polyhydric alcohol derivative and/or an acetylene glycol surfactant, a water-soluble organic solvent, and water, the pigment having been surface treated to render the pigment dispersible and/or dissolvable in water without any dispersant, the 1,2-alkanediol being at least one member selected from the group consisting of 1,2-butanediol, 1,2-pentanediol, and 1,2-hexanediol, the ink composition having a surface tension of not more than 40 mNm<-1> at 20 DEG C. This ink composition enables ink jet recording which can provide good print quality and can realize continuous printing. <IMAGE></p> |
