Abstract: By use of recording liquid for water based inkjet with pigment and colloidal silica, it is possible to obtain prints print recorded on plain paper with good clearness and high quality and image of the print recorded material with sufficient water resistance and light resistance.

Abstract: A pigment composition consisting of 100 parts by weight of a pigment, and from 0.1 to 30 parts by weight of a pigment dispersant of formula ##STR1## in which Q is (a) an anthraquinone dye or pigment radical, (b) an azo dye or pigment radical, (c) a benzimidazolone dye or pigment radical, (d) a phthalocyanine dye or pigment radical, (e) a quinacridone dye or pigment radical, (f) a dioxazine dye or pigment radical, (g) an anthrapyrimidine dye or pigment radical, (h) an anthanthrone dye or pigment radical, (i) an indanthrone dye or pigment radical, (j) a falvanthrone dye or pigment radical, (k) a pyranthrone dye or pigment radical, (l) a perinone dye or pigment radical, (m) a perylene dye or pigment or (n) a thioindigo dye or pigment radical; X is a direct bonds, --CH.sub.2 --; ##STR2## Y.sub.1 is NH or --O--; Z is in which Y.sub.2 is --NH-- or --O--, or --NH--X--Q when n is 1; R.sub.1 and R.sub.

Abstract: There is provided a pigment composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a pigment and from 0.3 to 30 parts by weight of a colorless or slightly colored aromatic compound having the following general formula (I) ##STR1## wherein Q represents a residue of an aromatic polycyclic compound which is joined directly or through A to --SO.sub.2 -- radical of the compound of the formula (I), A represents a member selected from the group consisting of --O--, ##STR2## --S--, --CO--, --SO.sub.2 --, ##STR3## a divalent phenylene residue and a combination thereof, in which R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 represent, independently, a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 represent, independently, a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or together form a heterocyclic ring together with N* in the formula (I), R.sub.

Abstract: A pigment composition is disclosed which includes a pigment and a coloring compound of the general formula (I), ##STR1## wherein Q represents a residue of a coloring compound other than phthalocyanine, X represents --SO.sub.2 -- or --CO--, m and n represent, respectively, an integer of from 1 to 4 and an integer of from 1 to 6, R represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms or an alkenyl group having from 2 to 20 carbon atoms, and R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 represent, independently, a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group having from 2 to 20 carbon atoms, or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 together form a heterocyclic ring which contains a nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur atom therein.
