Abstract
An ink jet recorder in which ink droplets having different, large and small diameters are produced, only the small diameter ink droplets of the ink droplets are selectively charged and deflected to record dots on a recording medium. The property of the ink employed in the recorder is selected to meet the condition K.ltoreq.N.sup.n .times.T.sup.m (N represents the viscosity of the ink, T represents the surface tension thereof, and n, m and K are positive constants, respectively), thereby maintaining the diameter of the small diameter ink droplets at a substantially constant value in the operation temperature range of the recorder.
