An ink jet recording method is disclosed. In the method ink comprising an actinic radiation curable cationically polymerizable component is ejected from an ink jet recording head and deposited onto a recording medium, and subsequently is cured by exposure to actinic radiation, and an absolute value (|C−B|) of difference between a value C and the value B is 0-20 mN/m, in which A is a surface tension of a recording medium in mN/m and B is a surface tension of the ink cured by exposing to the actinic radiation in mN/m. |
