Patent ID: 10377151

Abstract:
Provided is an image forming method including an image forming step of discharging liquid droplets of an active-energy-ray-curable ink onto a base to form a liquid-droplet film and irradiating the liquid-droplet film with an active energy ray to form a cured film, to form a laminated cured product in which the cured film is laminated on the base, wherein an elongation rate of the laminated cured product obtained according to a formula below is 60 percent or greater. Elongation rate=[(length after tensile test−length before tensile test)/(length before tensile test)]×100Length before tensile test is a length of the laminated cured product obtained by laminating the cured film on the base to have an average thickness of 30 μm, and length after tensile test is a length of the laminated cured product after elongated with a tensile tester at a tensile speed of 20 mm/minute at 180 degrees C.
