Ink jet recording method and ink jet recording apparatus

Abstract

There is provided an ink jet recording method which records an image on a recording medium using aqueous ink. The ink jet recording method includes an intermediate image forming step of forming an intermediate image by applying aqueous ink to a transfer body and then applying an aqueous transfer promotion liquid to a region of the transfer body in which the aqueous ink is applied; and a transferring step of transferring the intermediate image by bring the intermediate image into contact with the recording medium in this order. The transfer promotion liquid contains a rosin particle formed by containing a rosin ester resin, an anionic emulsifier and a nonionic emulsifier, and the content of an alkali metal ion in the transfer promotion liquid is more than that of an alkali metal ion in the ink.
