An ink-jet recording method is provided in that upon carrying out printing at a high speed as equivalent to laser printers by using the plain paper, the optical density and the coloring property of the image are high with less occurrence of intercolor breed and feathering, and the image has high water resistance. The method contains a step of printing on recording paper having base paper mainly containing pulp fibers and a filler by using a pigment ink of at least one color at a scanning speed of a printing head of 25 cm/sec or more and a maximum ink injection amount in a range of from 6 to 30 mL/m<2>, the ink having a surface tension in a range of from 20 to 35 mN/m, and an aggregation degree of a pigment contained in the ink in contact with a surface of the recording paper being 5 or more. |
