Water-base ink, method of manufacturing the ink, and method of printing using the ink

摘要

An objective of the present invention is to provide ink which is best suited for inkjet printing of a printed substrate. The ink is a photo polymerizing type water-base ink including at least a colorant, a photo polymerization resin, a photo initiator, and a water-base solvent. The photo polymerization resin includes oligomer particles in an emulsion state and monomers which reside in the oligomer particles. The water-base ink contains, with content ratio in terms of the percentage weight, 5% of ethyleneglycol, and between 0.1% to 10% of 2-pyrodoline and N-acrylonitrile morpholine combined.
