Abstract

Abstract An ink-jet recording method is provided which employs inks of at least one color and a plurality of inks different in dye concentration for each color. The method is characterized in that the viscosities of the plurality of inks of the same color in the temperature range of 0° to 40° C. satisfy the relation V.sub.max. -V.sub.min. ≦1.0 (cps) wherein, V max . and V min . represent the maximum and minimum values, respectively, of these viscosities.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 73 words
An ink-jet recording method employing inks of at least one color and a plurality of inks containing different concentration of a dye for each color, characterized in that the viscosities of the plurality of inks of the same color in the temperature range of 0° to 40° C. satisfy the relation V.sub.max. -V.sub.min. ≦1.0 (cps) wherein, V max . and V min . represent the maximum and minimum values, respectively, of the viscosities.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 73 words
An ink-jet recording method employing inks of at least one color and a plurality of inks containing different concentration of a dye for each color, characterized in that the viscosities of the plurality of inks of the same color in the temperature range of 0° to 40° C. satisfy the relation V.sub.max. -V.sub.min. ≦1.0 (cps) wherein, V max . and V min . represent the maximum and minimum values, respectively, of the viscosities.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 13 words
The ink-jet recording method of claim 1, wherein the inks are water-base inks.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 23 words
The ink-jet recording method of claim 1, wherein each of the inks comprises a solution of water-soluble dye in a water base solvent.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 16 words
