Abstract

An ink composition for an electrostatic ink jet composed of a nonaqueous solvent having an electrical resistance of not lower than 109 &OHgr;·cm and a dielectric constant of not more than 3.5; a solid particulate material having an average particle diameter of from 0.1 to 3 &mgr;m dispersed in a nonaqueous solvent; and at least one fluorine-based surface active agent which is soluble in the nonaqueous solvent. The surface active agent is present in an amount from about 0.05 to 5% by weight based on the weight of the ink composition.
