Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
An ink composition for ink jet recording which consists of 5 to 40% by weight of a water-soluble wetting agent, 0.1 to 10% by weight of a water-soluble dye, 0.5 to 10% by weight of at least one oxygen absorber selected from the group consisting of sodium sulfite, potassium sulfite, ammonium sulfite, sodium hydrogensulfite, potassium hydrogensulfite, and ammonium hydrogensulfite, and at least one member selected from the group consisting of antiseptics and fungicides with the balance being water, said at least one antiseptic or fungicide being water soluble and not causing the formation of a precipitate being included in an amount ranging from 300 to 5000 ppm in the total ink composition and the ink composition having a viscosity lower than 5 cps, a surface tension of 40 to 50 dyne/cm and an amount of dissolved air lower than 0.013 ml/ml at a temperature approximating room temperature.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
An ink composition for ink jet recording as set forth in claim 1 wherein the water-soluble wetting agent is at least one member selected from the group consisting of polyols, alkylethers of aliphatic polyols, alkylether-monoacetates of aliphatic polyols, hydroxy alkyl formamides and N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone oligomer.
