The ink compositions are suitable for printing on plain paper. The ink comprises water as the principal solvent, an anionic colorant, pectic acid, a base, and at least one of a penetrable solvent and/or a penetrability-imparting surfactant. The pectic acid is composed primarily of alpha -1,4 linked polygalacturonic acid having a degree of esterification not more than 5% where the degree of esterification is defined as the percentage of the total number of galacturonic acid units in the pectic acid which are esterified.</p> |
