Liquid composition, ink set, method of forming a colored section on recording medium and ink-jet recording apparatus

摘要

This invention relates to a liquid composition adapted to be applied to a recording medium with ink containing a multi-color to form a colored section on the recording medium. The liquid composition contains fine particles reactive relative to the solvent and the coloring material in ink. When processed in particular steps, it produces aggregates of fine particles showing a specific surface area between 70 and 250 m<2>/g as determined by the BET nitrogen adsorption/desorption method. It further relates to a method of forming a colored section on a recording medium comprising the steps of applying ink containing a coloring material and applying a liquid composition to the recording medium and to an ink-jet recording apparatus for said method. <IMAGE>
