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 6):
The image forming method according to  claim 1 , wherein the photocurable compound contains a (meth)acrylate compound having a molecular weight of 280 or more and 1,500 or less and a ClogP value of 4.0 or more and 7.0 or less.
