An improved radiation curable inkjet ink is provided. In an inkjet ink comprising an ink vehicle, (a) a first component that is cured by a first polymerization route, an associated photoinitiator, and a second polymerization route that is different from the first polymerization route. An ink vehicle comprising a second component and an associated photoinitiator, or (b) a first polymerization initiator system and a second photoinitiator system that react to longer wavelengths in a single polymerization route An ink-jet ink comprising an ink vehicle comprising a single component that can be cured. Image formation involves ejecting such ink onto the transfer member surface, curing the first component while on the transfer member surface, or partially curing the single component and removing the resulting ink. This can be done by transferring to an image receiving surface and finally completing the curing. [Selection figure] None |
