Provided is a stable water base ink composition which has a sufficiently high concentration as ink for an ink jet-recording apparatus and writing instruments and prevents the recorded images and the written characters from being blurred or disappearing with water and sweat and which has such an excellent light fastness that the images and the characters do not deteriorate over a long period of time and does not cause a change in physical properties and precipitates. A water base dispersion liquid containing colored resin fine particles is prepared by emulsion-polymerizing a vinyl monomer in the presence of a hydrophobic dye and then diluted with water or a water soluble organic solvent, whereby the water base ink composition is produced.
A water base ink composition, comprising a water base dispersion liquid, having a surface tension of at least 40 dyn/cm, comprising colored resin fine particles wherein said liquid is prepared by emulsion polymerizing a vinyl monomer in the presence of a hydrophobic dye and a polymerizable surfactant, said polymerizable surfactant having the formula ##STR2## wherein X is SO.sub.3 NH.sub.4.
A water base ink composition, comprising a water base dispersion liquid comprising colored resin fine particles wherein said liquid is prepared by emulsion polymerizing a vinyl monomer in the presence of a hydrophobic dye and a polymerizable surfactant, said polymerizable surfactant having the formula ##STR3## wherein X is SO.sub.3 NH.sub.4, said liquid comprises 3 to 30% by weight resin solid content of the colored resin fine particles;
