Abstract

An aqueous pigment dispersion for preparing an environmentally conscious aqueous inkjet ink in which a pigment is finely and stably dispersed and which records images having excellent durability, glossiness, color developability, and adhesiveness to various printing substrates. The aqueous pigment dispersion contains a pigment, water, a water-soluble organic solvent, and a polymeric dispersant that disperses the pigment. The polymeric dispersant is a polymer including a constitutional unit (i) derived from (meth)acrylic acid and/or itaconic acid, and a constituent unit (ii) derived from (meth)acrylate derived from biological material, such as ethyl (meth)acrylate, having an acid value of 30 to 250 mgKOH/g, number average molecular weight of 1,000 to 30,000, and a polydispersity index (weight average molecular weight/number average molecular weight) of 2.5 or less. The content of the constituent unit (ii) is 50% by mass or more, and at least part of carboxy groups is neutralized with an alkali.
