(57) [Problem] The present invention forms a transparent coat layer without the need for a curing / fixing step by heating, ultraviolet light, or the like, and imparts light resistance, water resistance, fixing property, and glossiness to a recorded matter. It is an object to provide a coating liquid to be applied, a recording method, and a recorded matter produced by the method. SOLUTION: The present invention relates to a coating liquid applied to a recorded image, comprising at least water, polymer fine particles, and a penetrant (preferably an acetylene glycol-based surfactant, an acetylene alcohol-based surfactant, a glycol ether, A coating solution containing a penetrant selected from the group consisting of 2-alkylene glycols). The present invention also provides an image recording method for forming a uniform transparent coat layer by spraying the coating liquid by an ink jet recording method, and a recorded matter produced by the method. |
