Abstract

An active ray curable inkjet ink includes an active ray polymerizable compound, a photopolymerization initiator, a polymer compound, and a gelling agent. The polymer compound has a tolylene diisocyanate structure.

Claims (12)

1 . An active ray curable inkjet ink comprising:

an active ray polymerizable compound;

a photopolymerization initiator;

a polymer compound; and

a gelling agent,

wherein the polymer compound has a tolylene diisocyanate structure.

2 . The active ray curable inkjet ink according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer compound is a polymer compound having an ε-caprolactam structure.

3 . The active ray curable inkjet ink according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the polymer compound is greater than 0 mass % and equal to or less than 5 mass %.

4 . The active ray curable inkjet ink according to claim 1 , wherein a weight average molecular weight Mw of the polymer compound is in a range of 5,000 to 15,000.

5 . The active ray curable inkjet ink according to claim 1 , wherein a number average molecular weight Mn of the polymer compound is in a range of 5,000 to 10,000.

6 . The active ray curable inkjet ink according to claim 1 , further comprising a pigment.

7 . The active ray curable inkjet ink according to claim 1 , wherein the gelling agent includes an aliphatic ketone compound and/or an aliphatic ester compound.
