An object is to provide a nonaqueous inkjet ink composition offering excellent solid filling property and anti-mottling property, as well as excellent ink stability, discharge stability, and scratch resistance, even when printed at high speed on printing targets whose printing face is constituted by a polyvinyl chloride, ethylene-vinyl acetate-based copolymer, or other vinyl-based polymer, etc. As a solution, a nonaqueous inkjet ink composition is provided that contains acrylic-based resin, organic coloring pigment and/or carbon black, alumina, pigment dispersant, and organic solvent, wherein the organic solvent comprises propylene carbonate, diethylene glycol dialkyl ether, and dipropylene glycol alkyl ether acetate, and alumina is contained by 5 to 30 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass representing the total of organic coloring pigment and carbon black.

Provided is an image forming method including: applying an ink to a print medium and heating the print medium to which the ink is applied at a heating temperature of 60 degrees C. or higher. The ink contains pigment-encapsulating resin particles comprising a pigment and a resin encapsulating the pigment. A proportion of the pigment alone exposed without being encapsulated with the resin is 10% by mass or less relative to solid components contained in the ink. Amass ratio of the pigment to the resin in the pigment-encapsulating resin particles is 0.25 or greater but 1.0 or less. A contact angle θm (°) of the ink when the ink is dropped by 5 microliters onto a print medium at 73 degrees C. is 25° or less.
