Ink-jet image recording method

An ink-jet image recording method comprising:

• applying an aqueous solution comprising a dispersion of fine polymer particles to an image-receiving material;
• ejecting an ink composition for ink-jet recording comprising an oil-soluble dye onto the image-receiving material for formation of an image, while the dispersion of fine polymer particles on the image-receiving material maintains a condition in which the ink composition for ink-jet recording is able to pass therethrough;
• and
• heating the image-receiving material to form a coating film comprising the fine polymer particles after the applying of the aqueous solution.
