Abstract

[Problem] To provide ultraviolet hardening type ink compositions with a temperature-sensitive color change property, which has both the hardening property and the printing strength of UV ink and also has an excellent light resistance. [Solution] Ultraviolet hardening type ink compositions comprising microcapsules with a temperature-sensitive color change property and a photopolymerization initiator, wherein said microcapsules contain no ultraviolet absorber and have the mean diameter of 0.5-50 .mu.m whereas said photopolymerization initiator comprises at least one of the compounds selected from ace tophenone type compounds and benzophenone type compounds.
