IMAGE FORMING METHOD, INK JET RECORDING APPARATUS AND ACTIVE RAY CURABLE INK USED THEREIN

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming method for preventing a recording material from wrinkling or curling and forming a printing image excellent in character quality and color mixture resistance even if printing is applied to various recording materials using active ray curable ink cured by ultraviolet rays according to an ink jet recording method, an ink jet recording apparatus and the active ray curable ink used therein.

SOLUTION: In an image forming method wherein the active ray curable ink is discharged on the recording material from an ink jet recording head to form an image, the active ray curable ink is applied on the recording material before cured by a lamp wherein a plurality of light emitting diodes having the maximum luminous intensity at a wavelength of 210-280 nm are arranged.
