MAGENTA INK-JET INKS

摘要

The present invention is drawn to magenta dye blends and magenta ink-jet inks that can be used in ink sets for creating photo quality images. The dye blend can comprise a nickel chromophore-containing azo dye blended with a rhodamine dye at a 1:80 to 125:4 weight ratio. The dye blend can be incorporated into an ink vehicle to form magenta ink-jet inks that exhibit good lightfastness, airfastness, and chroma.
