Abstract: An ink composition for inkjet and a method for inkjet recording are provided. The ink composition for inkjet includes: a pigment, a water, an alkanediol having a carbon number of 6 or more and 10 or less; and a resin emulsion. A minimum value of a mass ratio of the alkanediol to the ink composition for inkjet is 10%. And, the method includes: performing a typing by attaching an ink composition for inkjet to an ink-unabsorbable or ink-low-absorbable medium. The ink composition for inkjet is prepared by dispersing solutes including a pigment and a resin emulsion in a water including an alkanediol having a carbon number of 6 or more and 10 or less; and the typing is performed by ejecting the ink composition for inkjet on the ink-unabsorbable or ink-low-absorbable medium heated at 50° C. or more and 60° C. or less.

Abstract: An inkjet aqueous ink composition comprises a heterocyclic compound having a nitrogen atom in the heterocycle and a carbonyl group adjacent to the nitrogen atom, a resin, and water. The heterocyclic compound is preferably selected from the group consisting of 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. The resin is preferably an acrylic resin.
