Problems solved by technology

For example, when an ink set is applied to a coated medium (recording medium) such as photographic paper at a low resolution, there is a problem that graininess due to dot representation is particularly noticeable during recording.
In addition, when the ink set is applied to plain paper (recording medium with fibers exposed on the recording surface), there are dark areas (the L* value defined in the CIELAB color space on the recording medium is about 40) The color rendering property is particularly reduced
[0008] In addition, depending on the image to be formed, the reflected light may not be constantly whitened, and it may appear to be reflected in a different color, which often leads to a decrease in the quality of the image.

Abstract

It is an object of the present invention to provide an ink set that has a wide color reproduction range, has high saturation, produces a glossy recorded image with no pronounced granularity caused by dot expression, greatly suppresses granularity caused by dot expression particularly when applied to a medium having a coating layer, and allows a recorded image with outstanding coloration to be obtained when applied to plain paper. The present invention provides an ink set comprising at least yellow ink (Y), magenta ink (M), cyan ink (C), and red ink (R), wherein the L* values in the Lab colorimetric system specified by CIE for aqueous solutions of each ink diluted 1000 times are within the following ranges. (Y): at least 89 and no more than 94, (M): at least 76 and no more than 93, (C): at least 74 and no more than 87, (R): at least 55 and no more than 74.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an ink set having at least three colors of yellow, magenta, and cyan, and a red ink as a characteristic ink other than these colors. The graininess caused by the expression is not obvious, and the recorded image with a glossy feeling can be obtained. Especially when it is applied to a medium with a coated layer, it can greatly suppress the graininess caused by the dot expression. When it is applied to plain paper In some cases, an ink set for recording an image with extremely excellent color rendering properties, and a recording method, recording system, and recorded product using the ink set. Background technique [0002] Pigment inks are generally superior to dye inks in image fastness of printed matter, and are used in various applications utilizing their properties, such as wide-format color inkjet recording inks for the signal and display markets. In this color inkjet recording, a three-color ink set having pigmen...
