Although it is not clear why the ink of the present disclosure can exhibit such an effect, the present inventors speculate as follows.
  • the ink of the present disclosure achieves excellent dispersion stability and formation of a fine image by containing an acid group neutralized by two types of neutralizing agents, a volatile neutralizing agent and a non-volatile neutralizing agent. It can.
  • the ink of the present disclosure contains particles that contain acid groups neutralized with neutralizing agents (i.e., volatile neutralizing agents and non-volatile neutralizing agents), so that charge repulsion between particles is achieved. As a result, aggregation of particles is suppressed, and as a result, it is considered that excellent dispersion stability can be realized.
  • the particles contain only the acid group neutralized by the volatile neutralizing agent, the volatile neutralizing agent gradually volatilizes due to the dissociation equilibrium with the acid group during the storage of the ink. Stability may be reduced.
  • an ink film formed using an ink containing water as a liquid component the liquid component is difficult to remove as compared to an ink film formed using an ink containing an organic solvent as a liquid component. Therefore, an image formed using an ink containing water as a liquid component tends to be inferior in definition. The reason for this is considered to be that unintended ink droplet coalescence may occur on the substrate because the liquid component in the ink film is difficult to remove. Therefore, in order to form a fine image, it is desirable that the ink applied on the substrate be rapidly thickened.

  • the volatile neutralizing agent neutralizing the acid groups contained in the particles is volatilized. It is considered that the ink thickens rapidly because the particles from which the volatile neutralizing agent that is neutralizing the acid group has volatilized coagulate by losing charge repulsion.

For this reason, the polymer particles contained in the aqueous dispersion described in JP-A-2010-138297 do not have a volatile base. Therefore, it is difficult to form a fine image with the aqueous dispersion described in JP-A-2010-138297.
