本開示の一実施形態であるインクは、重合性化合物を含む。重合性化合物は、インク中に1種単独で含まれていてもよく、2種以上含まれていてもよい。
N-ビニル化合物としては、例えば、N-ビニルピロリドン、N-ビニルカプロラクタム、N-ビニルホルムアミド、及びN-ビニルフタルイミドが挙げられる。中でも、表面硬化性をより向上させる観点から、N-ビニル化合物は、N-ビニルカプロラクタムであることが好ましい。

第1態様として、前処理液は、重合性化合物及びポリエステル樹脂を含むことが好ましい。前処理液にポリエステル樹脂が含まれていると、基材との密着性が向上する。これは、ポリエステル樹脂によって、硬化収縮による残留応力の発生が抑制されるためであると考えられる。
ポリエステル樹脂とは、主鎖にエステル結合を有するポリマーを意味する。ポリエステル樹脂は、通常、ジカルボン酸とポリオールとを反応させることにより得られる。ジカルボン酸としては、例えばフマル酸、イタコン酸、アジピン酸、セバシン酸、テレフタル酸、イソフタル酸、スルホイソフタル酸、ナフタレンジカルボン酸、テトラヒドロフタル酸、及びシクロヘキサンジカルボン酸が挙げられる。ポリオールとしては、例えばエチレングリコール、プロピレングリコール、グリセリン、ヘキサントリオール、ブタンジオール、ヘキサンジオール、及び1,4-シクロヘキサンジメタノール、ビスフェノールA、及び水素化ビスフェノールAが挙げられる。

本開示の第1実施形態である画像記録方法は、基材上に、上記インクを、インクジェット記録方式を用いて付与する工程(以下、「インク付与工程」ともいう)と、付与されたインクに活性エネルギー線を照射する工程(以下、活性エネルギー線硬化工程」ともいう)と、を含むことが好ましい。
インク付与工程では、上記インクを、インクジェット記録方式を用いて付与する。
基材の種類は特に限定されず、基材として、通常公知の基材を用いることができる。基材としては、例えば、ガラス、石英、及びプラスチックフィルムが挙げられる。プラスチックフィルムを構成する樹脂としては、例えば、二酢酸セルロース、三酢酸セルロース、プロピオン酸セルロース、酪酸セルロース、酢酸酪酸セルロース、硝酸セルロース、アクリル樹脂、塩素化ポリオレフィン樹脂、ポリエーテルスルホン樹脂、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)、ポリエチレンナフタレート、ナイロン、ポリエチレン、ポリスチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリシクロオレフィン樹脂、ポリイミド樹脂、ポリカーボネート樹脂、及びポリビニルアセタールが挙げられる。プラスチックフィルムは、これらの樹脂を1種のみ含むフィルムであってもよく、2種以上混合されたフィルムであってもよい。

本開示では、インク中の重合性化合物の実質的に全部を重合させることを「本硬化」ともいい、本硬化のための活性エネルギー線の照射を「本露光」ともいう。
反応率が80%超である場合には、密着性がより向上する。
インクに対する活性エネルギー線の照射終了までの操作が施された基材を準備する。この基材のインク膜が存在する領域から20mm×50mmの大きさのサンプル片(以下、照射後サンプル片とする)を切り出す。切り出した照射後サンプル片を、10mLのTHF(テトラヒドロフラン)中に24時間浸漬し、インクが溶出した溶出液を得る。得られた溶出液について、高速液体クロマトグラフィーにより、重合性化合物の量(以下、「照射後化合物量X1」とする)を求める。
別途、基材上のインクに対して活性エネルギー線を照射しないこと以外は上記と同じ操作を実施し、重合性モノマーの量(以下、「未照射時化合物量X1」とする)を求める。
照射後化合物量X1及び未照射時化合物量X1に基づき、下記式により、インクの反応率(%)を求める。
インクの反応率(%) = ((未照射時化合物量X1-照射後化合物量X1)/未照射時化合物量X1)×100
