Ink composition, inkjet recording system, and inkjet recording method

An ink composition that is held in an ink container that is provided with an ink inlet through which the ink container can be refilled with the ink composition, and is used in a state in which the ink container is fitted into an inkjet recording device that includes a recording head having a nozzle hole that ejects the ink composition,nthe nozzle hole having a part in which an area of a cross section of the nozzle hole perpendicular to an ink composition ejection direction decreases discontinuously in the ink composition ejection direction,the ink composition comprising a disperse dye, and at least one of a silicon-based surfactant and a fluorine-based surfactant, the ink composition having a surface tension of 22 to 30 mN/m.
