The present invention relates to an image forming method which includes: curing an active ray curable ink containing a gelling agent; and additionally applying and curing another active ray curable ink and by which affinity of the additionally-applied ink is further improved. The method of the present invention is an image forming method including: a first step of applying a first ink, which contains a colorant, a gelling agent, a photopolymerizable compound, and a photoinitiator, to a recording medium; a second step of irradiating the first ink with an active ray to cure and fix the first ink; a third step of additionally applying a second ink which contains a photopolymerizable compound and a photoinitiator; and a fourth step of irradiating the second ink with an active ray, in this order, wherein the first ink contains 0.5 to 5.0% by mass of the gelling agent with respect to the entire mass of the ink, the second ink contains less than 5.0% by mass of the gelling agent with respect to the entire mass of the ink, and the fourth step is performed in a state where the cured and fixed first ink is heated.
本发明涉及一种图像形成方法,该方法包括:固化含有胶凝剂的活性射线固化油墨;以及额外应用和固化另一种活性射线固化油墨,并通过该方法进一步提高额外应用油墨的亲和力。本发明的方法是一种图像形成方法,包括:第一步,将含有
着色剂、胶凝剂、可光聚合化合物和光
引发剂的第一种油墨涂抹到记录介质上;第二步,用活性射线照射第一种油墨,以固化和固定第一种油墨;第三步,额外涂抹含有可光聚合化合物和光
引发剂的第二种油墨;第四步,用活性射线照射第二种油墨,按此顺序,其中第一种油墨含有 0.5至5.0%(按油墨总质量计)的胶凝剂,第二油墨中胶凝剂的含量小于5.0%(按油墨总质量计),第四步在固化固定的第一油墨被加热的状态下进行。
