The use of the specific dyes within the aqueous ink composition prevents clogging within the nozzle of the ink-jet printer during operation or after operation has been restarted after a suspension of use of the printer. The ink composition has a high light-fastness characteristic, is not easily discolored by exposure to light and produces faithful color reproduction.
