An active energy curable white ink composition contains a nitrogen atom-containing monofunctional monomer (A), a nitrogen atom-free monofunctional monomer (B) having a glass transition temperature of 15 degrees or higher, a polyfunctional monomer (C), a polymerizable oligomer (D), an acylphosphine oxide-based polymerization initiator (E), and a white pigment (F), wherein the proportion of (D) in the active energy curable white ink composition is 0.2% by mass or less, the proportion of (E) in the active energy curable white ink composition is from 6% to 10% by mass, and the proportion of (F) in the active energy curable white ink composition is from 12% to 17% by mass.
