An embodiment of relates to a magenta ink for an inkjet containing two or more pigments, a water-soluble organic solvent (A), a surfactant and water, wherein the two or more pigments contain an azo pigment, an amount of the azo pigment is from 0.5 to 8% by mass of a total mass of the magenta ink and from 35 to 100% by mass of a total mass of the pigments, the solvent (A) contains a specific diol-based solvent (A-1) in a molar amount of from 5 to 250 times a molar amount of the azo pigment, a molar amount of a specific diol-based solvent (A-2) in the solvent (A) is 0.1 times or less the molar amount of the solvent (A-1), and an amount of a cyclic amide-based solvent in the solvent (A) is not more than 4.5% by mass of the total mass of the magenta ink. |
