Patent ID: 7875689

Claim:
An ink receptive particle comprising an organic resin that is formed by a hydrophilic monomer component and a hydrophobic monomer component, wherein hydrophilic groups in the organic resin include a hydrophilic group having a salt structure and a hydrophilic group not having a salt structure, a molar ratio of the hydrophilic group having a salt structure is in a range of from 5 mol % to 40 mol % relative to a total amount of monomer component composing the ink receptive particle, a molar ratio of the hydrophilic group not having a salt structure is in a range of from 5 mol % to 50 mol % relative to a total amount of monomer component composing the ink receptive particle, and the ink receptive particle has a hydrophobic group and a molar ratio of the hydrophobic group is in a range of from 40 mol % to 70 mol % relative to a total amount of monomer component composing the ink receptive particle.
