A method of forming an ink-jet image comprising the steps of: i. ejecting ink compositions from an ink-jet head onto a recording medium; and ii. forming an image, nwherein a) the recording medium is a porous type medium having a porous ink absorbing layer on a non-water absorptive support, b) the ink-jet head has a plurality of nozzles which eject more than two ink compositions respectively, and one ink composition is a clear ink, and one ink composition is a color ink, c) the clear ink contains water dispersible microscopic resin particles having an average diameter of 10 - 200 nm of more than 1 weight%, and d) pH of the ink compositions is 6.5 - 11.0, and an absolute value of a difference, between an ink composition pH and film surface pH of the recording medium, is less than 4.0. |
