Abstract
The present invention relates to an ink-jet printing method that is capable of obtaining good printed materials that are free of occurrence of color migration and deformation of a printing medium even when printed on a transparent resin printing medium using a water-based ink containing a white ink, and a black or chromatic ink. The present invention provides an ink-jet printing method including the step of ejecting a water-based ink onto a printing medium using a printing apparatus to print characters or images on the printing medium, said printing apparatus including an ink-jet printing head that ejects the water-based ink onto the printing medium that is transported in a feeding direction thereof; and an drying mechanism that is disposed on a downstream side in a feeding direction of the printing medium, in which the printing medium is in the form of a transparent resin printing medium, and the water-based ink includes a white ink, and a black or chromatic ink, and in which the drying mechanism blows a superheated steam that is heated to a temperature of 100 to 180° C. onto at least one of a printing surface and an opposite surface of the printing medium.
