Claims
- 1. An inkjet recording method, wherein ink jet recording is made on a recording medium exhibiting a glossiness at an angle of 60° of not less than 30% by the use of a water-based pigmented ink for ink jet printing comprising a pigment and a latex, and wherein the average particle size of the pigment is 10 to 150 nm and the average particle size of the latex is 10 to 50 nm, satisfying the following requirement:0.5≦a/b≦4 wherein a is the average particle size of the pigment and b is the average particle size of the latex;the content of the latex present in the ink is 0.1 to 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the ink; and the latex is a soap-free latex.
- 2. The ink jet recording method of claim 1, wherein the average particle size of the pigment is 10 to 100 nm and the following requirement is satisfied:0.5≦a/b≦3.
- 3. The ink jet recording method of claim 1, wherein the ink contains an alkyl ether of a polyhydric alcohol in an amount of not less than 1% by weight.
- 4. The ink jet recording method of claim 1, wherein the ink contains a compound represented by the following formula (I): wherein R is a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon group; n is an integer of 2 to 20; and M is sodium, potassium, lithium or a quaternary ammonium.
- 5. The ink jet recording method of claim 1, wherein the ink contains a fluorinated surfactant.
- 6. The ink jet recording method of claim 1, wherein the ink contains a hydrophilic silicone compound.
- 7. The ink jet recording method of claim 1, wherein the recording medium is selected from the group consisting of a glossy paper and a glossy film, each exhibiting a glossiness at an angle of 60° of not less than 30%.
