Patent ID: 8580159

Claim:
An ink for inkjet recording, comprising: water; a water-soluble organic solvent; a water-dispersible resin; a fluorochemical surfactant or derivative thereof; and a coloring agent comprising a pigment, wherein the ink for inkjet recording has a surface tension of 20 mN/m to 35 mN/m at 25° C., and a viscosity of 5 mPa·s or more at 25° C., a total amount of the water-dispersible resin and the coloring agent in the ink for inkjet recording is 5% by mass to 40% by mass, and a mass ratio A/B of the water-dispersible resin A to the coloring agent B is 0.5 to 4, wherein the ink for inkjet recording is applied for a recording medium for inkjet recording which comprises a support comprising a cellulose pulp, and one or more barrier layer disposed on at least one face of the support, wherein the barrier layer comprises 30% by mass or more of an inorganic pigment having a refractive index of 1.5 or more, excluding aluminum hydrate, and 10% by mass or less of an inorganic pigment having a refractive index of less than 1.5, and the water-dispersible resin is at least one member selected from the group consisting of an anionic self-emulsified polyurethane ether resin emulsion and an acryl-silicone resin emulsion.
