The present invention relates to a porphyrazine coloring matter
represented by the following formula (1): ##STR00001## (wherein, A, B, C
and D independently represents a 6-membered ring having aromaticity, at
least one or more is a benzene ring, at least one or more contains a
nitrogen-containing heteroaromatic ring; in addition, E represents
alkylene and each of X and Y independently represents a substituted or
unsubstituted anilino group or a substituted or unsubstituted
naphthylamino group; and b is 0 to 2.9, c is 0.1 to 3 and the sum of b
and c is 1 to 3) which has a good hue as a cyan ink, is excellent in
light fastness, ozone fastness and moisture fastness, and does not cause
bronze phenomenon, as well as is thus suitable for inkjet recording.
