Patent ID: 8353582

Claim:
An ultraviolet curable inkjet recording ink comprising: a colorant; a light-curable compound; a photopolymerization initiator; and a fluorine surfactant represented by one of the following structural formulae (1) and (2): where Rf in the formula (1) is selected from the group consisting of CH 2 CF 3 and CH 2 CF 2 CF 3 , n represents a value of 5 to 20, at least one of the two R1s represents a functional group curable by an ultraviolet curing reaction, and one of the two R1s in the structural formula (1) may be a hydrogen atom, and where Rf in the formula (2) is selected from the group consisting of CH 2 CF 3 and CH 2 CF 2 CF 3 , l represents a value of 1 to 20, k and m each represent a value of 1 to 8, at least one of the two R2s represents a functional group curable by an ultraviolet curing reaction, one of the two R2s in the structural formula (2) may be a hydrogen atom, and R3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen atom and a methyl group.
