Abstract

An ink composition is provided which does not undergo decomposition or fading of colorants even when stored under high-temperature environment. An ink composition which contains a compound represented by the following general formula (1) and a humectant, wherein the content of the compound represented by the general formula (1) is from 0.1% by mass to less than 7.0% by mass, the content of the humectant having 3 or more hydroxyl groups is 8.0% by mass or less, and the molar ratio of the humectant having 3 or more hydroxyl groups/the compound represented by the general formula (1) being less than 15.0; wherein Ar1 and Ar2 each independently represents an aromatic hydrocarbon ring group, a non-aromatic hydrocarbon ring group, an aromatic heterocyclic group, or a non-aromatic heterocyclic group, A1 and A2 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent, Y represents —OM or —NR1R2, M represents a hydrogen atom or a metal ion, and R1 and R2 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, an aralkyl group, an aryl group, or a heterocyclic group.
