INK COMPOSITION FOR INK-JET PRINTER Abstract of the Disclosure: An aqueous-based ink composition for use in ink- jet printers is disclosed. The composition comprises (a) a vehicle of about 5 to 95% water and the balance at least one glycol ether, such as diethylene glycol; (b) a dye, such as Food Black 2, having at least one negative- ly charged functional group per molecule, present in an amount up to about 10% of the vehicle composition; and (c) a cationic compound selected from the group consist- ing of alkanol ammonium compounds and cationic amide compounds, present in an amount such that there is at least one molecule of cationic compound for at least one of the negatively charged functional groups on the dye, the pH of the ink composition being maintained in the acidic region below about 7. The ink composition of the invention evidences minimal crusting and reduced evaporation loss of water. The solubility of anioic dyes is increased in the acidic medium over that otherwise obtainable, due to the pres- ence of the alkanol ammonium compound or amide. The ink composition of the invention is suitably employed in any of the ink-jet printers commonly in use.
