An ink-jet recording liquid using a dye and a pigment, which is excellent in
dispersibility
and has good printing performance and storage stability, and a process for producing
the same are provided.
There are provided an ink-jet recording liquid containing a pigment, a dye
and a surfactant which are incorporated in an aqueous medium, characterized in
that (1) the pigment and the dye at least partly comprise a pigment and a dye reversibly
adsorbed thereon without involving a chemical reaction, (2) the dye reversibly
adsorbed on the pigment without involving a chemical reaction contains a dye having
a dye adsorption shown by the following formula (1) of 0.02 g/g or more, and (3)
as the surfactant, a nonionic surfactant and an anionic surfactant coexist; and
a process for producing the same.
