Inkjet recording method

An inkjet recording method comprising ejecting ink droplets on an image-receiving material according to recording signals to record an image on the image-receiving material, wherein at least one of the ink and the image-receiving material comprises an acid precursor capable of releasing an acid by a chemical reaction, wherein one of the acid precursor and a compound which reacts with the acid precursor to release an acid is contained in the ink, and another one of the acid precursor and the compound is contained in the image-receiving material, wherein the acid precursor is a compound comprising an atom which changes to a hard acid by the chemical reaction or an atomic group which changes to a hard acid by the chemical reaction, and the compound which reacts with the acid precursor to release an acid is a compound comprising a nucleophilic group.
