PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ink curing fixation method which is excellent in curing fixation property of an ink to a base, does not cause failure such as transfer and color migration of the ink after subjected to the curing fixation even under mechanical stress or heating and is stable, to provide a printing method using the ink curing fixation method, and to provide an ink used for the methods. SOLUTION: The ink curing fixation method is provided which includes at least a process of exposing the ink 6 on the base 5 to a dielectric barrier discharge to be subjected to the curing fixation, wherein a polymerizable compound is included in the ink. The printing method using the ink curing fixation method and the ink including the polymerizable compound for use in the methods are also provided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
