Abstract: A white ink containing a white pigment, a polycarbonate urethane resin, a polyether urethane resin, and water; and a recording method using the white ink. An ink set provided with the white ink and at least one color ink, the color ink being an aqueous ink containing a coloring agent, the white ink and the color ink differing in surface tension at 25° C. by ±0-3 mN/m; and a recording method using the ink set.

Abstract: A colored dispersion that contains (A) a dye derivative, (B) a water-insoluble dye, (C) a dispersant, and water. The (A) component contains an anthraquinone-based compound represented by formula (al), the (C) component does not contain a polyoxyethylene aryl phenyl ether and a polyoxyethylene aryl phenyl ether sulfate at the same time, and the mass ratio ((B)/(A)) of the (B) component with respect to the (A) component satisfies the relationship 400>(B)/(A)>3.125. A recording medium having the colored dispersion adhered thereto and a hydrophobic fiber printing method using the colored dispersion. In formula (a1), each of Ra1-Ra5 is a hydrogen atom, and Xa1 is a group represented by formula (a4).

Abstract: A dispersion liquid composition for ink containing a non-water-soluble coloring agent, a water-soluble polysaccharide compound, a multivalent metal salt, a dispersant, and water; and an ink composition containing the dispersion liquid composition for ink. An ink-jet printing method using the ink composition, an ink-jet printed article printed by the ink-jet printing method, a sublimation transfer dyeing method using the ink-jet printed article, and a sublimation transfer dyed article dyed by the sublimation transfer dyeing method.
