Abstract:
1. An inkjet recording method comprising in sequence a transparent ink application step of applying a transparent ink onto a recording medium, an image formation step of carrying out image formation by discharging an effect pigment ink onto the recording medium, and a curing step of curing the transparent ink and the effect pigment ink above the recording medium, the method comprising or not comprising, between the transparent ink application step and the image formation step, a step of curing the transparent ink, and when it does the transparent ink being cured at a percentage cure of no greater than 85%, the effect pigment ink comprising an effect pigment, a polymerization initiator, and a polymerizable compound, and the transparent ink comprising a polymerization initiator and a polymerizable compound but comprising substantially no pigment, wherein the effect pigment comprises plate-shaped particles, the shape of the effect pigment satisfying relationship (1) and relationship (2) below wherein in relationship (1) and relationship (2), R wherein relationship (3) below is satisfied where the surface tension of the effect pigment ink is γk and the surface tension of the transparent ink is γs.
