Silver ink for low-temperature calcination

A silver ink comprising silver particles and a protective agent containing at least one amine compound dispersed in a dispersion medium, wherein

• wherein the silver particles do not comprise a reducing agent;
• the dispersion medium contains a main solvent having a vapor pressure at 20° C. of 40 mmHg or less and a vapor pressure at 70° C. of 0.09 mmHg or more in an amount of 80% or more on a mass basis relative to the total dispersion medium,
• the amine compound contained in the protective agent has a mass average molecular weight of 115 or less,
• a total amount of the amine compound contained in the protective agent is 1 part by weight or more and 1.43 parts by weight or less per 100 parts by weight of the silver particles, and
• the silver ink has a moisture content that is 500 ppm or more and 50,000 ppm or less on a mass basis relative to the total silver ink.
