An inkjet recording method is provided in which image formation is carried out by employing an ink set, the inks of each color including a polymerizable compound and a polymerization initiator, and discharge of the inks being repeated 2 to 16 times for the same area, the method including at least (1) a step of discharging an ink via an inkjet head, (2) a step of irradiating the discharged ink with actinic radiation by exposure means having an illumination intensity of at least 50 mW/cm 2 but less than 500 mW/cm 2 at a time between 0 and 1.0 second after ink discharge so that the integrated exposure for a wavelength region of 240 to 400 nm is no greater than 40 mJ/cm 2 , and (3) a step of irradiating the discharged ink with actinic radiation by exposure means having an illumination intensity of at least 500 mW/cm 2 after at least 1.0 second has passed after ink discharge so that the integrated exposure for a wavelength region of 240 to 400 nm is 20 to 250 mJ/cm 2 . |
