A UV curable inkjet ink including a free radical polymerizable compound and an acyl phosphine oxide initiator wherein the acyl phosphine oxide initiator includes an acyl group selected from the group consisting of a benzoyl group substituted by an urea group or an oxalylamide group; a 2,6-dimethyl benzoyl group substituted in position 3 by an urea group or an oxalylamide group; a 2,6-dimethoxy benzoyl group substituted in position 3 by an urea group or an oxalylamide group; a 2,4,6-trimethyl benzoyl group substituted in position 3 by an urea group or an oxalylamide group; and a 2,4,6-trimethoxybenzoyl group substituted in position 3 by an urea group or an oxalylamide group wherein the urea group and the oxalylamide group include a tertiary amine group positioning a phosporus atom of the acylphosphine oxide initiator in a 1 to Z position, where position 1 is defined as that of the phosphorus atom and position Z is defined as the nitrogen atom of the tertiary amine group with Z representing an integer of at least 11; and that the acyl phosphine oxide initiator contains no more than two photoinitiating moieties having a phosphine oxide group.
