ABSTRACT:
An ink-jet ink comprises water, a water-soluble coloring material having a molecular weight of 600 or less as a free acid form, at least two kinds of water-soluble organic solvents, and urea or a derivative thereof. The vapor pressures at 25° C. of the at least two kinds of water-soluble organic solvents are lower than that of water. The water-soluble organic solvents include a water-soluble organic solvent A and a water-soluble organic solvent B. The solubility of the water-soluble coloring material in the water-soluble organic solvent A is higher than its solubility in water, while its solubility in the water-soluble organic solvent B is equal to or lower than its solubility in water. The difference between the solubilities of the water-soluble coloring material in the water-soluble organic solvent A and in the water-soluble organic solvent B is 10% or more. The ink-jet ink does not cause clogging of an ejection portion nor deposition of a coloring material and is capable of providing good print quality even after leaving a printed image for a long term under high temperature and humidity conditions.
