Abstract

See full text

The problem addressed by the present invention lies in obtaining printed material having higher brightness using an ultraviolet-curing metallic ink. In order to solve this problem, the printing method includes: an ink ejection process, in which an ultraviolet curing type metallic ink including metal particles is ejected on a recording medium, and the recording medium is swelled by the metallic ink, soaked with the metallic ink, or dissolved by the metallic ink; a leveling process, in which the metallic ink on the recording medium is leveled; a temporary curing process, in which ultraviolet rays are irradiated to the metallic ink on the recording medium to cure in such a degree that the metallic ink is not completely cured; and a main curing process, in which ultraviolet rays are irradiated to the metallic ink on the recording medium for curing after the temporary curing process.
