Abstract:
The present invention relates to an image forming method and an image forming apparatus by an inkjet method using a gel ink, which minimize a gloss difference between an image-formed region and an image-less region, regardless of a type of a paper substrate used. The image forming method of the present invention is a method for forming an image on a paper substrate by using an inkjet ink that undergoes a temperature-induced sol-gel phase transition. The image forming method includes: a step of subjecting a paper substrate to a corona discharge treatment; a step of ejecting liquid droplets of inkjet ink and landing the droplets on a surface of the paper substrate subjected to the corona discharge treatment; and a step of irradiating the droplets of the inkjet ink landed on the paper substrate with an actinic light ray to cure the inkjet ink.

Claim (Index 4):
The image forming method according to  claim 3 , wherein the amount of the corona discharge for performing the corona discharge treatment is 10 W\u00b7min/m 2  or more and less than 150 W\u00b7min/m 2 .
