The present invention relates to a porphyrazine coloring matter
represented by the following formula (1):
##STR00001##
(wherein, A, B, C and D independently represent a 6-membered ring having
aromaticity, at least one or more of them are benzene rings and at least
one or more of them contain nitrogen-containing heteroaromatic rings; E
represents alkylene, X is a substituted anilino group and have at least
one or more of sulfo group, carboxy group and phosphono group as a
substituent, Y represents a hydroxy group or an amino group, b is
respectively 0 to 2.9, c is 0.1 to 3, and the sum of b and c is 1 to 3)
in free acid form, which is suitable for inkjet recording because it has
good hue as a cyan ink, is excellent in light fastness, ozone fastness
and moisture fastness, and does not cause bronzing phenomenon.
