Abstract
Provided is a print preparation method possessing an ejection step in which liquid drops of actinic energy radiation curable type ink-jet ink each containing a polymerizable compound, a photo-polymerizable initiator and a gelling agent are injected from an ink-jet recording head to supply the actinic energy radiation curable type ink-jet ink onto a recording medium, and an actinic energy radiation exposure step, wherein the print preparation method further comprises step (A) in which the recording medium is exposed to electromagnetic waves having a longer wavelength than a wavelength of an absorption wavelength of the photo-polymerization initiator contained in the actinic energy radiation curable type ink-jet ink from a side of a surface on which the image is formed, before conducting the actinic energy radiation exposure step, the print preparation method by which a print having images exhibiting excellent image wear resistance, gloss evenness and image density evenness is provided.
