<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ink composition containing a pigment homogeneously dispersed in a solvent and a block polymer having an ionic functional group, an image-forming method using the ink composition and an image-forming apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: The invention provides an ink composition containing a pigment, a solvent and a block polymer having an ionic functional group, an acid residue or a base residue on the terminal, an image-forming method using the ink composition and an image-forming apparatus. The polymer having an ionic functional group, an acid residue or a base residue on the terminal is an ABX-type block polymer containing A, B and X segments wherein A and B are each a block segment containing a vinyl ether structure as the repeating unit and X is a terminal segment composed of an ionic functional group, an acid residue or a base residue. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO |
