Recorded material and image forming method

A recorded material, comprising:

• a recording medium;
• and
• a fixed toner image on the recording medium, the fixed toner image comprising a cured resin and a toner particle in the cured resin, the toner particle including colorant particles, wherein
• the cured resin is formed from an energy-curable liquid comprising a cationic polymerizable monomer included in a carrier liquid, the cationic polymerizable monomer being at least one compound selected from the group consisting of dodecyl vinyl ether, dipropylene glycol divinyl ether, dicyclopentadiene vinyl ether, cyclohexane dimethanol divinyl ether, tricyclodecane vinyl ether, trimethylolpropane trivinyl ether, 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol divinyl ether, 2,4-diethyl-1,5-pentanediol divinyl ether, 2-butyl-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol divinyl ether, neopentyl glycol divinyl ether, pentaerythritol tetra vinyl ether, and 1,2-decanediol divinyl ether,
• an average circularity of the toner particle is 0.70 to 0.99 and the toner particle is not exposed from a surface of the cured resin,
• a ratio (T/D×100) between the toner particle (T) and the carrier energy-curable liquid (D) is 20 to 80 on a mass scale,
• a volume-average particle diameter of the toner particle is not less than 0.5 μm and less than 1 μm, and
• an average distance between wall surfaces of adjacent toner particles in the cured resin is not less than 75 nm and less than 125 nm.
