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.
