Abstract
An ink-jet recording method, having the steps of: ejecting droplets of inks from an orifice of a recording head onto a recording sheet in response to recording signals; and heating the recording sheet to 70° C. or higher before the droplets of the ink land on the recording sheet or at the time of landing thereof, thereby to form a multi-order color image on the recording sheet, in which the inks are two or more kinds of inks that thicken by heating and have different color hues from each other, and the droplets of the inks are ejected in sequence from the ink having the lowest viscosity at 70° C. among the inks.
Claims9
An ink-jet recording method, comprising the steps of:
- ejecting droplets of inks from an orifice of a recording head onto a recording sheet in response to recording signals;
- and
- heating the recording sheet to 70° C. or higher before the droplets of the ink land on the recording sheet or at the time of landing thereof, thereby to form a multi-order color image on the recording sheet,
- wherein the inks are two or more kinds of inks that thicken by heating and have different color hues from each other, and
- wherein the droplets of the inks are ejected in sequence from the ink having the lowest viscosity at 70° C. among the inks.
An ink set, comprising inks which thicken by heating,
- wherein the inks comprise color hues of black, cyan, magenta, and yellow, and
- wherein the inks satisfy the following relation in terms of viscosity at 70° C. thereof:
- the black ink<the cyan ink<the magenta ink<the yellow ink.
