Abstract
An ink jet recording method is disclosed. In the method ink comprising an actinic radiation curable cationically polymerizable component is ejected from an ink jet recording head and deposited onto a recording medium, and subsequently is cured by exposure to actinic radiation, and an absolute value (|C−B|) of difference between a value C and the value B is 0-20 mN/m, in which A is a surface tension of a recording medium in mN/m and B is a surface tension of the ink cured by exposing to the actinic radiation in mN/m.

An ink jet recording method to form an image comprising the steps of:
- (a) ejecting ink comprising an actinic radiation curable cationically polymerizable component from an ink jet recording head to deposit the ink on a recording medium;
- and
- (b) exposing the ink on the recording medium to an actinic radiation to cure the ink,
- wherein an absolute value of difference between a surface tension of the recording medium in mN/m and a surface tension of the ink cured by exposing to the actinic radiation in mN/m is 0 to 20 mN/m.
