The purpose of the present invention is to provide an active light ray-curable inkjet ink composition which exhibits excellent curing properties and high storage stability. This active light ray-curable inkjet ink composition contains a curable monomer, a photopolymerization initiator, an amine-modified oligomer, a pigment and a polymer dispersing agent. In this composition, the content of the amine-modified oligomer is 0.5-10 mass % relative to the overall mass of the active light ray-curable inkjet ink composition, the polymer dispersing agent is a compound which adsorbs the pigment and contains a tertiary amine group as a functional group, and the content of the polymer dispersing agent is 20-70 mass % relative to the pigment.

Active light ray-curable inkjet ink composition and inkjet recording method

An active ray curable inkjet ink includes: a radical polymerizable compound; a radical polymerization initiator; a color material; and an odor material scavenger, wherein the radical polymerization initiator is a compound producing aldehyde, the radical polymerizable compound contains a monofunctional radical polymerizable compound in an amount of 0 mass % to 10 mass % with respect to the total mass of the ink, the odor material scavenger is a compound having a primary amine group or secondary amine group and having a molecular weight of 1000 or less, or is a compound having a hydroxyl group or a compound having an aromatic ring-substituted hydroxyl group and having a molecular weight of 1000 or less, the content of the odor material scavenger is lower than that of the radical polymerization initiator, and the absorbance of the inkjet ink to light having a wavelength of 365 nm to 395 nm is 400 to 1000.

Inkjet ink and image forming method

An object of the present invention is to provide a photocurable inkjet ink having favorable discharge stability and a reduced odor. The photocurable inkjet ink of the present invention contains a photopolymerizable compound, a photopolymerization initiator, and a gelling agent; the content of the gelling agent is 0.5 mass % or more to 10 mass % or less based on the photocurable inkjet ink; and the photocurable inkjet ink further contains 10 mass ppm or more to 100 mass ppm or less of the compound which has a molecular weight of 200 or less and which contains a hydrophobic moiety having four or more carbon atoms Sbased on the photocurable inkjet ink.

Photocurable inkjet ink and image forming method

A photocurable composition containing a photopolymerizable compound and a photoinitiator, wherein the photopolymerizable compound is a radically polymerizable monomer and the photoinitiator is a photoradical initiator. The photocurable composition is characterized by additionally contains a metal chelate compound, wherein the center metal element in the metal chelate compound is selected from metal elements belonging to Group 2, Group 4, Group 8 and Group 13 and the metal chelate compound is contained in an amount of 0.1 to 5% by mass inclusive relative to the whole mass of the photocurable composition. Thus, it becomes possible to provide: a photocurable composition which has sustained adhesiveness and does not undergo shrinking upon curing; and a photocurable inkjet ink.
