Abstract:
1. A system for printing using an inkjet recording apparatus and a liquid ink forming an ink image on a recording medium, said apparatus comprising: a transfer member for transferring said recording medium; an ink jet type recording head arranged above said transfer member, said ink jet type recording head spurting said liquid ink onto said recording medium to form an ink layer on said recording medium; a light source irradiating said ink layer with light; and a heating member heating the ink layer, wherein said light source emits an infrared ray together with the light and has a reflecting plate reflecting the infrared and/or a transmitting window transmitting the infrared ray, and said heating member includes said light source and said reflecting plate and/or said transmitting window, and wherein said ink comprises a photo acid generating agent that generates an acid upon irradiation with the light, a coloring component, at least one solvent that is polymerized in the presence of the acid, and at least one basic compound and a compound developing a basicity, the solvant containing at least 50 parts by weight of an acid polymenzable compound, said acid polymerizing compound polymerizing in the presence of the acid having an alicyclic skeleton and/or aliphatic skeleton and having a viscosity of 50 mPa·s or less and boiling point of 150° C. or more under room temperature and atmospheric pressure.
