To provide a hot melt ink composition capable of improving the abrasion resistance of printing surfaces and achieving effectively an auto document feeder(ADF) function by keeping an abrasion coefficient against a manuscript table glass low even in the case where a manuscript printed with a hot melt ink composition is applied to the ADF of a copying machine or the like and fed under the contact of the printed side of the manuscript with the manuscript table glass, having no variation in functions and suitable for coloring at low cost.

A hot melt ink composition containing a resin component, a wax component and a coloring component. The composition contains ≥10 pts.wt. of a synthetic polyolefin wax having ≤3 of a needle penetration degree, e.g. a synthetic polyolefin wax.
