A novel azo compound represented by the following Formula (1) wherein A
represents the following Formula (2) and is located preferably in a
position meta or para to the azo group; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each
independently represents hydrogen, carboxy, sulfo, nitro, C.sub.1-4
alkoxy, etc.; R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 each independently represents hydrogen,
halogeno, cyano, carboxy, sulfo, nitro, C.sub.1-4 alkyl, hydroxy, or
C.sub.1-4 alkoxy; and n is 0 or 1. [In the Formula (2), R.sup.5
represents cyano, carboxy, C.sub.1-4 alky, C.sub.1-4 alkoxycarbonyl, or
phenyl; and R.sup.6, R.sup.7, and R.sup.8 each independently represents
hydrogen, halogeno, cyano, carboxy, sulfo, nitro, C.sub.1-4 alkyl,
C.sub.1-4 alkoxy, or acylamino.] The compound is useful as a black dye,
especially one for ink compositions for, e.g., inkjet prints. Also
provided are: an ink composition which contains the compound and has
excellent storage stability; and a print obtained through recording with
the ink. The print is excellent in light resistance, ozone resistance,
fastness to moisture, etc.
