The method forms an image by directly depositing aqueous ink ejected from an inkjet recording apparatus onto a recording medium. The method comprises: using, as the inkjet recording apparatus (1), an apparatus including: an image formation unit and a drying unit arranged on a downstream side of the image formation unit; using, as the recording medium, a special paper which is a recording medium successively laminated from a base paper, a first layer containing a binder and a second layer containing a white pigment; and using, as the aqueous ink, a special ink containing at least a resin dispersant (A), a pigment (B) that is dispersed by the resin dispersant (A), self-dispersible polymer micro-particles (C) and an aqueous liquid medium (D). |
