Patent ID: 7581829

Claim:
An ink-jet recording method comprising the steps of: (a) preparing an ink composition set comprising (i) an ink composition A comprising at least a colorant and an interior curable photopolymerization initiator, wherein the interior curable photopolymerization initiator contained in the ink composition A comprises an acylphosphine oxide as a major component contained in an amount of 60% by weight or more based on the photopolymerization initiator in the ink composition A and (ii) an ink composition B comprising at least a polymerizable compound, a surface curable photopolymerization initiator and a polymerization accelerator, wherein the surface curable photopolymerization initiator contained in the ink composition B comprises an α-aminoketone as a major component contained in an amount of 60% by weight or more based on the photopolymerization initiator in the ink composition B; (b) attaching the ink composition A and the ink composition B to a recording medium by (i) ejecting the ink composition A to form a first, colorant layer on the recording medium; and then (ii) ejecting the ink composition B to form a second layer on the colorant layer formed in step (b) (i); and (c) irradiating the ejected compositions with an ultraviolet ray to form an image through ultraviolet ray curing.
