Abstract
The present invention relates to an ink set capable of achieving a further improvement in quality of an image formed on commercial plain paper. The ink set includes a combination of a recording performance improving liquid for improving the recording performance of ink jet ink, and ink jet ink for forming an image on a recording medium by an ink jet recording method, wherein the recording performance improving liquid contains at least cationic resin fine particles, the ink jet ink contains an organic pigment as a colorant, and the difference between the zeta potentials of the recording performance improving liquid and the ink jet ink is 30 mV or more.
