Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is an aqueous ink that is suppressed from causing mist and is excellent in storage stability. The aqueous ink is an aqueous ink to be ejected from a recording head of an ink jet system through an action of thermal energy. The aqueous ink includes a first surfactant and a second surfactant. The first surfactant contains a compound represented by the following general formula (1) (in the general formula (1), “m” and “n” each independently represent an integer of 1 or more and satisfy a relationship of m+n≤10, and “a” represents an integer of 10 or more to 20 or less). The second surfactant contains an acetylene glycol compound.
