Unanswered Questions
How does the specific composition of the surfactant contribute to the stability of ink ejection in the printing process?
The specific composition of the surfactant, with a hydrophilic moiety containing an anionic group and a hydrophobic moiety that is an aliphatic hydrocarbon group, likely helps in maintaining the stability of ink ejection by controlling the surface tension and interaction between the ink and the printing medium.
What are the potential environmental impacts of using a reaction liquid with a polyvalent metal salt in ink jet printing?
The potential environmental impacts of using a reaction liquid with a polyvalent metal salt in ink jet printing may include the disposal of waste liquids containing these substances and the need for proper handling and disposal procedures to prevent environmental contamination.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a reaction liquid for ink jet, which can record a high-quality image and is excellent in intermittent ejection stability, to be used together with an aqueous ink. The reaction liquid for ink jet is used in an ink jet recording method including recording an image on a recording medium with an aqueous ink and an aqueous reaction liquid containing a reactant that reacts with the aqueous ink. The reaction liquid includes a polyvalent metal salt and a surfactant. The surfactant is a compound including a hydrophilic moiety having an anionic group and a hydrophobic moiety that is an aliphatic hydrocarbon group. A mass ratio of a content (% by mass) of the polyvalent metal salt in the reaction liquid to a content (% by mass) of the surfactant therein is 10.0 times or more to 35.0 times or less.
