Ink jet recording method and ink jet recording paper

Abstract

In an ink jet recording method, a surface of a recording paper, in which a base paper contains a pulp fiber and a filler, one surface of the base paper being coated with a polyvalent metal salt in a coating amount of from 0.1 to 3 g/m2, having a basis weight of from 63 to 100 g/m2 and an internal bond strength of from 0.05 to 0.2 N·m is printed using an ink of at least one color made of at least a pigment, a water-soluble organic solvent, water and a surfactant and having a surface tension of from 25 to 37 mN/m. According to the method, the color reproduction is improved, the inter color bleeding and the feathering of characters are reduced, the double-sided printability is provided by reducing curling and cockling occurring immediately after printing, and curling and cockling occurring after allowing to stand and drying are also reduced.
