Attorney, Agent or Firm: Byorick; Judith L.

Disclosed is an ink composition which comprises water, an anionic dye, and a monoquaternary cationic penetrant of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is either a benzyl group or an alkyl group having at least about 3 carbon atoms, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, and R.sub.4 each, independently of the others, are hydrogen atoms, methyl groups, or ethyl groups, wherein two or more R groups can be joined together to form a ring, X is an anion, and n is an integer representing the charge on the anion, wherein the ink exhibits rapid penetration when applied to plain paper. Also disclosed is a set of inks for generating multicolored images which comprises (a) a first ink as described above; and (b) a second ink comprising water and a pigment; wherein intercolor bleed between the first ink and the second ink is reduced. Further disclosed are ink jet printing processes with the ink and ink set described above.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The first and second inks of the present invention contain an aqueous liquid vehicle.
The liquid vehicle can consist solely of water, or it can comprise a mixture of water and a water soluble or water miscible organic component, such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycols, glycerine, dipropylene glycols, polyethylene glycols, polypropylene glycols, amides, ethers, urea, substituted ureas, ethers, carboxylic acids and their salts, esters, alcohols, organosulfides, organosulfoxides, sulfones (such as sulfolane), alcohol derivatives, carbitol, butyl carbitol, cellusolve, tripropylene glycol monomethyl ether, ether derivatives, amino alcohols, ketones, N-methylpyrrolidinone, 2-pyrrolidinone, cyclohexylpyrrolidone, hydroxyethers, amides, sulfoxides, lactones, polyelectrolytes, methyl sulfonylethanol, imidazole, betaine, and other water soluble or water miscible materials, as well as mixtures thereof.
When mixtures of water and water soluble or miscible organic liquids are selected as the liquid vehicle, the water to organic ratio typically ranges from about 100:0 to about 30:70, and preferably from about 97:3 to about 40:60.
The non-water component of the liquid vehicle generally serves as a humectant or cosolvent which has a boiling point higher than that of water (100.
degree.
C.
).
In the ink compositions of the present invention, the liquid vehicle is typically present in an amount of from about 80 to about 99.
9 percent by weight of the ink, and preferably from about 90 to about 99 percent by weight of the ink, although the amount can be outside these ranges.
The inks for the present invention also contain a colorant.
The colorant for the first ink is an anionic dye, and the colorant for the second ink is a pigment.
Any suitable or desired anionic dye can be employed in the first ink.
Examples of suitable dyes include Food dyes such as Food Black No.
1, Food Black No.
2, Food Red No.
40, Food Blue No.
1, Food Yellow No.
7, and the like, FD & C dyes, Acid Black dyes (No
