Abstract
An image forming method for forming an image on a substrate, includes: forming a resin layer on the substrate; adhering a transfer sheet having a sublimable dye ink layer on a surface thereof to the resin layer, the sublimable dye ink layer including a sublimable dye ink; and heating the transfer sheet to transfer the sublimable dye ink to the resin layer. Forming the resin layer includes: ejecting a resin liquid from an inkjet head to adhere the resin liquid to the substrate, the resin liquid including a resin component capable of being polymerized by ultraviolet irradiation; and polymerizing the resin component by ultraviolet radiation to form the resin layer on the substrate.
