An ink set, exhibiting good ink permeability and fixation, capable of yielding
high quality images with no roughness, or an ink set capable of yielding text and/or
images of outstanding light resistance, is provided. The ink set of the present
invention comprises a dark ink composition and a light ink composition that, while
being mutually the same color, are of different color density, and is characterized
in that the dark ink composition and the light ink composition each comprise a
pigment as a colorant and a resin as a dispersant, in that the ratio between the
resin weight proportion B1 and the pigment weight proportion P1
in the dark ink composition (i.e. B1/P1) is lower than
the ratio between the resin weight proportion B2 and the pigment weight
proportion P2 in the light ink composition (i.e. B2/P2),
and in that B1 and B2 differ from each other.
