Ink jet recording method and ink jet recording apparatus

An ink jet recording apparatus, comprising:

• an ink image forming unit which forms an ink image by applying ink containing at least a resin and a liquid component onto a recording medium;
• a liquid removing unit which removes at least a part of the liquid component in the ink image;
• a fixing unit which performs heating and pressing fixing on the ink image formed on the recording medium by pressing a fixing substrate;
• a liquid adhesion determination unit which determines whether a liquid adheres to a surface of the fixing substrate;
• and
• a liquid removing condition changing unit which changes a liquid removing condition of the liquid removing unit based on the determination result of the liquid adhesion determination unit.

An ink jet recording method, comprising:

• forming an ink image by applying ink containing at least a resin and a liquid component onto a recording medium or a transfer body;
• removing at least a part of the liquid component in the ink image from the ink image;
• performing heating and pressing fixing on the ink image formed on the recording medium or the ink image transferred from the transfer body onto the recording medium by pressing a fixing substrate;
• determining whether a liquid adheres to a surface of the fixing substrate;
• and
• changing a liquid removing condition of the removing of the liquid based on the determination result of the liquid adhesion determination unit.
