CURL REDUCING AGENT, INKJET INK, INKJET RECORDING METHOD AND CURL REDUCING METHOD

摘要

A curl reducing agent containing an amide compound having specified structure and molecular weight, an inkjet ink containing such an amide compound, an inkjet recording method for recording an image by ejecting such an ink, and a method for reducing curl of a recording medium employing such an ink. Variation in the shape of a sheet, i.e. curling phenomenon, occurring as time elapses after recording, especially when ink is imparted to the entire surface of a plain sheet, can be reduced without lowering the image quality.
