Patent ID: 7946698

Claim:
An ink jet recording method comprising: applying an undercoating liquid comprising a monomer represented by the following formula (I) or formula (II) onto a recording medium; partially curing the undercoating liquid that has been applied onto the recording medium; and recording an image by ejecting an ink that is curable by irradiation with actinic energy rays onto the partially cured undercoating liquid, wherein the image is recorded with a multi-color ink set, and the method further comprises partially curing the ink of at least one color ejected onto the recording medium, and promoting the curing of the undercoating liquid and the ink that has been ejected, wherein, in formula (I) and formula (II): R 1 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, or an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms; X 1 represents a divalent linking group; a vinyl part including R 1 and X 1 may link at any position on the alicyclic hydrocarbon structure; R 2 and R 3 each independently represent a substituent that may link at any position on the alicyclic hydrocarbon structure; n represents an atom group that is necessary for formation of a cyclic hydrocarbon structure that may contain a carbonyl linkage (—C(O)—) and/or an ester linkage (—C(O)O—) together with a hydrocarbon linkage; k represents an integer of from 1 to 6; q and r each independently represent an integer of from 0 to 5, when k is 2 or more, two or more of R 1 may be the same as or different from each other and two or more of X 1 may be the same as or different from each other, when q is 2 or more, two or more of R 2 may be the same as or different from each other, and when r is 2 or more, two or more of R 3 may be the same as or different from each other.
