An ink jet process includes an ejection step, in which a radiation-curable ink jet composition is ejected from an ink jet head to a recording medium, and a curing step, in which the ejected ink jet composition is irradiated with radiation to give a cured coating of the ink jet composition. The ink jet composition contains at least one polymerizable compound, at least one photopolymerization initiator, and C.I. Pigment Red 57:1. The C.I. Pigment Red 57:1 constitutes 4.0% by mass or more of the total amount of the ink jet composition, and the cured coating has a maximum thickness of 5 μm or less.

An aqueous white ink jet ink composition is provided for printing in which a treatment liquid containing a flocculant is applied onto a poorly absorbent or non-absorbent printing medium. The white ink composition contains a white pigment, a nonionic dispersant adapted to disperse the white pigment, and a fixing resin.

Ink compositions for inkjet printing are disclosed. The ink compositions comprise a pigment, a binder system, a solvent system, and an epoxy resin. The ink compositions have improved drying time from the time of printing to the time of lamination with an overlaminate film as compared to existing inkjet ink compositions.
