Abstract
An active energy ray curable composition is provided. The active energy ray curable composition includes a pigment including a titanium oxide, a dispersant, and a polymerizable compound. At least a part of the dispersant is adsorbed to the pigment at an adsorption rate of from 5 to 80 mg per 1 g of the pigment.
