The present invention provides a photocurable ink that is excellent in storage stability and can be stably ejected in ejecting ink jet droplets. The photocurable ink of the present invention is a photocurable ink that is used for ink jet droplet discharge, and is obtained by coating the surface of metal particles with a coating of a phosphoric ester compound. It contains metal particles and a polymerizable compound, and the content of the free phosphate ester compound is less than 0.01% by mass. Moreover, it is preferable that the metal particle is scaly, and the constituent material is preferably aluminum. Further, the phosphate ester compound is preferably a fatty acid triglyceride phosphate ester. [Selection figure] None |
