Abstract: An inkjet ink contains a pigment, a specific polymer, a water-soluble organic solvent, and water. The specific polymer includes at least one first repeating unit, at least one second repeating unit, at least one third repeating unit, and at least one fourth repeating unit. The first repeating unit is a repeating unit derived from a monomer having a salt-forming group. The second repeating unit is a repeating unit derived from a styrene-based monomer. The third repeating unit is a repeating unit derived from a styrene-based macromer having a polymerizable functional group at one end thereof. The fourth repeating unit is a repeating unit derived from nonionic acrylic acid ester or nonionic methacrylic acid ester.

Abstract: A pretreatment liquid for inkjet recording contains a photobase generator that produces an organic amine compound through light exposure. An inkjet recording apparatus forms an image on an image formation area of a recording medium. The inkjet recording apparatus includes a pretreatment section, a light exposure section, and a recording head. The pretreatment section ejects the pretreatment liquid for inkjet recording toward the image formation area of the recording medium. The light exposure section performs light exposure on the image formation area of the recording medium to which the pretreatment liquid for inkjet recording has been ejected. The recording head ejects an ink toward the image formation area of the recording medium subjected to the light exposure to form the image.
