An ink jet recording method comprising depositing anreaction solution and an ink composition onto a recordingnmedium is disclosed. The ink composition used comprisesna colorant, a resin emulsion and the like, and the reactionnsolution comprises a reactant reactive with the colorantnand/or the resin emulsion and the like to produce annagglomerate, such as a polyvalent metal salt or anpolyallylamine. The reaction solution and the inkncomposition each have a surface tension of less than 40nmN/m. A sodium polyoxyethylene alkyl ether sulfate, annanionic surfactant, is used in order to realize thisnsurface tension. |
