Patent ID: 8211508

Claim:
A process for producing a molded printed material comprising: (A) a step of forming an image by discharging an ink composition on a thermoplastic resin support by an inkjet method, the ink composition comprising at least 60 wt % relative to the entire ink composition of at least one cyclic structure-containing monofunctional radically polymerizable monomer having only one group selected from the group consisting of an acrylate group, a methacrylate group, an acrylamide group, and a methacrylamide group; (B) a step of curing the ink composition by irradiating with actinic radiation the image obtained so as to obtain a printed material having the image cured on a support; and (C) a step a molding the printed material by stretching the printed material due to thermal deformation, wherein the ink composition comprises at least one N-vinyl group-containing cyclic monomer, phenoxyethylacrylate, and a cyclic structure-containing compound represented by Formula (1) as the cyclic-structure-containing monofunctional radically polymerizable monomer having only one group selected from the group consisting of an acrylate group, a methacrylate group, an acrylamide group, and a methacrylamide group, containing group, wherein R 1 denotes a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, X 1 denotes a first divalent linking group in which (—C(O)O—) or (—C(O)NH—) is bonded to the ethylenically unsaturated double bond shown in Formula (1), the first divalent linking group is optionally bonded to at least one second divalent linking group selected from the group consisting of a single bond, an ether bond (—O—), an ester bond (—C(O)O— or —OC(O)—), an amide bond (—C(O)NH— or —NHC(O)—), a carbonyl bond (—C(O)—), and an optionally branched alkylene group having no greater than 20 carbons, R 2 is a group represented by Formula (IV), (V) or (VI), wherein R 5 , R 6 , and R 7 independently denote a substituent, s, t, and u independently denote and integer of 0 to 5, and the R 5 s, the R 6 s, and the R 7 s are each identical to or different from each other, wherein the ink composition comprises an acyclic monofunctional monomer, the total content of the acyclic monofunctional monomer being no greater than 20 wt % of the entire ink composition, and wherein the molding is embossing, vacuum forming, pressure forming, or vacuum/pressure forming.
