A UV curable pigmented inkjet ink set comprising: one or more achromatic colour inkjet inks including a black inkjet ink containing a carbon black pigment; and five chromatic colour inkjet inks including: a first inkjet ink WR having a hue angle H* between 10° and 40° and a chroma C* between 30 and 80; a second inkjet ink WY having a hue angle H* between 65° and 85° and a chroma C* between 30 and 80; a third inkjet ink Y having a hue angle H* between 85° and 105° and a chroma C* larger than 80; a fourth inkjet ink C having a hue angle H* between 180° and 240° and a chroma C* between 30 and 80; and a fifth inkjet ink M having a hue angle H* between 300° and 360° and a chroma C* between 30 and 80; wherein the hue angle H* and the chroma C* were calculated from CIE L*a*b* coordinates determined on a polyethylene coated white paper for a 2° observer under a D50 light source; wherein the chromatic colour inkjet inks having a hue angle H* between 180° and 360° have a ratio T/P of thioxanthone compound to pigment complying with the relationship: 0.0≤T/P≤0.2, wherein T represents the wt % of thioxanthone compound and P represents the wt % of pigment, both wt % based on the total weight of the inkjet ink.
