Provided is an image forming method having excellent scratch resistance. An image forming method for forming an image on a printing material using an ink containing a fluorescent substance, wherein the image has a fluorescence intensity F (Xi, Yj, Zk) (where i = 1 to n1, j = 1 to n2, k = 1 to n3, and k = 1 represents the position in the Z direction on the bottom surface of the image, and k = n3 represents the position in the Z direction on the top surface of the image.) In F '(Xi, Yj) and F'ave, F ′ (Xi, Yj) satisfying F ′ (Xi, Yj) ≦ 0.75 × F′ave is 0.05 to 9.00% of all F ′ (Xi, Yj). [Selection diagram] None |
