  • Patent number: 9315683
    Abstract: The present invention provides an ink that can achieve image characteristics for recording an image having excellent optical density, bleeding resistance, and white blur resistance and also can achieve reliability that provides excellent sticking resistance to a recording head. The ink is one for ink jet containing a first pigment and second pigment. The first pigment is a self-dispersible pigment to a surface of a particle of which a first functional group containing a phosphonic acid group is bonded. The second pigment is a self-dispersible pigment to a surface of a particle of which a second functional group not containing a phosphonic acid group but containing an anionic group other than the phosphonic acid group, and further containing another atomic group is bonded. The introduced amount of the functional group of the second pigment is 0.25 mmol/g or more.
