DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1. An ink composition containing as stabiliser at least one water-soluble compound of formula ##STR21## wherein R. sub. 1 is H, C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 18 alkyl, C. sub. 7 -C. sub. 9 phenylalkyl, phenyl or a group of formula III ##STR22## R. sub. 2 is H, C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 18 alkyl, C. sub. 7 -C. sub. 9 phenylalkyl, phenyl, a group of formula III or group of formula IV --CH. sub. 2 CH. sub. 2 COOR. sub. 6 (IV); R. sub. 3 is H, C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 4 alkyl; M is H, an alkali metal ion or a group (R. sub. 7)(R. sub. 8)(R. sub. 9)(R. sub. 10)N; wherein R. sub. 7, R. sub. 8, R. sub. 9 and R. sub. 10 are each independently of one another H, unsubstituted C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 4 alkyl or C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 4 alkyl which is substituted by 1 to 3 OH groups, C. sub. 3 -C. sub. 20 alkyl which is interrupted by one or more than one oxygen atom, or are allyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, phenyl, benzyl or tolyl; L is a direct bond, --C(R. sub. 11)(R. sub. 12)-- or --S--; wherein R. sub. 11 and R. sub. 12 are each independently of the other H or C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 8 alkyl; or R. sub. 11 and R. sub. 12, together with the linking carbon atom, form a cyclopentylene, cyclohexylene or cycloheptylene ring, each unsubstituted or substituted by 1 to 3 C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 4 alkyl groups; R. sub. 4 and R. sub. 5 are are each independently of the other H or C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 8 alkyl; R. sub. 6 is M, unsubstituted C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 4 alkyl or C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 4 alkyl which is substituted by one --OH group, or is C. sub. 3 -C. sub. 20 alkyl which is interrupted by one or more than one oxygen atom; and n is 0 or 1. 2. An ink composition according to claim 1, which contains a stabiliser of formula ##STR23## wherein R. sub. 1 is H, C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 8 alkyl, ##STR24## phenyl or a group of formula III ##STR25## R. sub. 2 is H, C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 12 alkyl or a group of formula IV --CH. sub. 2 CH. sub. 2 COOR. sub. 6 (IV), M is H, an alkali metal ion or NH. sub. 4, L is a direct bond or --C(R. sub. 11)(R. sub. 12)--, wherein R. sub. 11 and R. sub. 12 are each independently of the other H, C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 4 alkyl, or R
