INK AND INK JET PRINTER USING THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE:To obtain an ink which is excellent in infrared absorptivity and does not cause chemical change, deposition of solid matter and bubbling by incorporating a compound of a specific structure as a colorant in an ink composition for forming recorded images. CONSTITUTION:An ink for forming recorded images containing the compound represented by the formula. The ink is incorporated in an ink jet printer that uses heat energy as the delivery energy for ink droplets or in one that uses energy generated by electromechanical transduction.
