Abstract
An ink jet recording method in which a water-based ink containing a recording agent is attached to a recording surface of a recording medium by an ink jet system, and liquid water is applied to the recording medium at a suitable time proximate to the time of applying the ink. A period of time is set during which a state in which the water-based ink is in a liquid form in the recording surface coexists with a state in which liquid water other than water contained in the water-based ink exists in a portion of the recording medium other than the recording surface.
