Reaction Steps

Five parts of a styrene/acrylic acid copolymer (acid value: 250; molecular weight: 5,000) as a dispersing agent and 4 parts of polyvinyl alcohol (low degree of saponification; degree of polymerization: 1,000) as a compound having a crosslinkable functional group were dissolved in 80 parts of dimethyl sulfoxide, and 10 parts of a quinacridone pigment (C.I. Pigment Red 122) were suspended in the resultant solution in a flask at 25° C. under an air atmosphere. A 30% methanol solution of potassium hydroxide was then added dropwise little by little to dissolve the quinacridone pigment. After the pigment solution was stirred for 3 hours, terephthaldialdehyde as a crosslinking agent was added to and dissolved in the pigment solution in a proportion of 1 part per 10 parts of the pigment, and the resultant solution was quickly poured into ion-exchanged water (400 parts of ion-exchanged water per 10 parts of the pigment; 0° C.) stirred by an impellor type agitating blade (800 rpm), purged with nitrogen and cooled and temperature-maintained by means of 2 system dispensers (manufactured by Musashi Engineering K.K.; needle internal diameter: 0.57 mm; delivery pressure: 4.0 kgf/cm2) to obtain an aqueous dispersion of quinacridone-pigment-containing particles having an average particle diameter of 38.9 nm. This aqueous dispersion was transferred to a reaction vessel equipped with a mantle heater, cooling tower, stirrer and thermometer, and this system was purged with nitrogen with stirring at 300 rpm and heated to an internal temperature of 80° C. While retaining the internal temperature of 80° C., 10% hydrochloric acid was added dropwise to adjust the pH of the reaction mixture to 4.0. After continuing the reaction for additional 5 hours, the reaction mixture was cooled back to room temperature. Thereafter, aggregates formed were filtered under reduced pressure through a membrane filter (holding particle diameter: 0.45 μm) and washed 3 times with 500 ml of ion-exchanged water to obtain a paste of an aqueous dispersion of the quinacridone-pigment-containing particles desalted and desolvated.
