Non-aqueous ink composition for inkjet printing

Abstract

A non-aqueous ink composition for inkjet printing, comprising 5 to 15% by mass of pigment relative to a mass of the non-aqueous ink composition, a pigment dispersant in such an amount that a mass ratio of the pigment dispersant to the pigment ranges from 0.2 to 2.0, and an organic solvent, the pigment dispersant comprising (A) a polyamide having a polyester side chain and/or a copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone and a C10-40 alkene, and (B) an alkyl(alkyl)acrylate copolymer having a C12-25 alkyl group and a nitrogen-containing group in such an amount that a mass ratio of the dispersant (B) to a total of the dispersant (A) and the dispersant (B), (B)/[(A)+(B)], ranges from 0.75 to 0.99. The ink composition has good storage stability and causes no satellite even printed in an environment of a low temperature.
