<p>A water base pigment ink composition for use in marking pens which contain an absorbent ink reservoir and a pen tip connected thereto, the ink composition comprising: (a) water in amounts of not less than 50% by weight; (b) an aqueous emulsion of hollow resin particles in amounts of 0.5-40% by weight as solids; (c) a white pigment in amounts of 1-40% by weight; and (d) a water-solubilized alpha -methylstyrene/styrene/acrylic acid copolymer which has a weight average molecular weight of 1000-10,000 and a distribution of molecular weight of 0.5-3.3, but which contains substantially no components having a weight average molecular weight of not more than 500, in amounts of 0.1-30% by weight, based on the ink compositions, respectively. The ink composition may contain chromatic or achromatic (other than white) pigments in amounts of 0.1-30% by weight based on the ink composition.</p> |
