Disclosed are an inkjet recorder and inkjet recording method wherein the problem of image quality degradation caused when an image formed of an ultraviolet-curable ink employing no aqueous solvent is cured using flash light is solved, and a high-gloss high-quality image can be attained quickly while eliminating deterioration in density and adhesion to a recording medium. With such an inkjet recorder and inkjet recording method, a high-quality image can be similarly attained even in case of a color image containing an ink of different infrared absorption such as a black ink. Also disclosed is an ultraviolet-curable ink used in such an inkjet recorder and inkjet recording method. The inkjet recorder comprises a flash light source, and is characterized by comprising a means for attenuating the quantity of light at least in a part of infrared wavelength region of flash light emitted from the flash light source.
