Hot-melt ink composition for ink jet recording

摘要

A hot-melt ink composition adapted for an ink jet recording process comprising the steps of: heating an ink composition which stays as solid at room temperatures so that it is liquefied; and then applying some jetting energy to the ink composition so that it is jetted onto a recording medium in the form of ink droplet to form a recorded dot, wherein said ink composition comprises a pigment and an alcoholic wax having a hydroxyl value of from 20 to 150 and has a melt viscosity of from 5 to 30 mPa.s upon the use thereof.
