Image forming method, image forming apparatus, and laminated cured product

An image forming method comprising:

• discharging liquid droplets of a first active-energy-ray-curable ink onto a base to form a solid liquid-droplet film in which the liquid droplets of the first active-energy-ray-curable ink are applied with no gap;
• irradiating the solid liquid-droplet film with a first active energy ray to form a solid cured film;
• discharging liquid droplets of a second active-energy-ray-curable ink onto the solid cured film in a dot pattern in which dots in the dot pattern are separated from each other to form liquid-droplet films in the dot pattern;
• and
• irradiating the liquid-droplet films in the dot pattern with a second active energy ray to form cured films in the dot pattern such that a laminated cured product in which the solid cured film and the cured films in the dot pattern are laminated on the base is formed,
• wherein an elongation rate of the laminated cured product obtained according to a formula:
• elongation rate=[(length after tensile test−length before tensile test)/(length before tensile test)]×100,
• is 60 percent or greater,
• where the length before tensile test is a length of the laminated cured product obtained by laminating the cured film on the base to have an average thickness of 30 μm, and the length after tensile test is a length of the laminated cured product after elongated with a tensile tester at a tensile speed of 20 mm/minute at a temperature of 180 degrees C.
