An ink for ink jet printers which comprises an aqueous carrier medium, pigment dispersion or dye and a cosolvent which retards or inhibits pluggage failure. The latter is an cycloaliphatic diol having a total of at least 6 carbon atoms and having a solubility in water of at least 4.5 parts in 100 parts of water at 25 DEG C. The pigment dispersion consists of pigment particles and a dispersant, preferably a polymeric dispersant, having a hydrophilic segment and a segment that links to the pigment. These inks exhibit long decap times, are storage stable, have reliable performance and give images having good print quality. |
