Abstract
The present invention provides an aqueous pigment dispersion including a pigment, an anionic group-containing organic polymer compound, and bio-nanofibers having an average diameter of 1 nm or more and 100 nm or less and an aspect ratio of 100 or more, and also provides an aqueous ink using the aqueous pigment dispersion. The bio-nanofibers are preferably cellulose nanofibers or chitosan nanofibers. The anionic group-containing organic polymer compound is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of acrylic resins having anionic groups, polyurethane resins having anionic groups, and polysaccharide derivatives having anionic groups.
Claims3
A method of performing printing on a recording material, the method comprising:
- applying to the recording material an aqueous ink composition comprising a pigment, an anionic group-containing organic polymer compound, and unmodified bio-nanofibers having an average diameter of 1 nm or more and 50 nm or less and an aspect ratio of 100 or more;
- and
- drying the aqueous ink composition on the recording material.
