Abstract:
1. An ink jet recording method comprising: forming an image on a print medium positioned in a printing area by discharging a specific ink; and in the forming of an image, a print head performs a scanning in which the print head moves in a predetermined direction relative to the stationary print medium on a platen heated to a temperature of 30° C. to 80° C. equipped with a drying mechanism and discharges the specific ink from the print head to the print medium; wherein the scanning is performed a plurality of times; between scanning and scanning an operation of moving the print head in a direction crossing the predetermined direction is performed; throughout the forming of an image the print medium is not transported but held in the printing area; the specific ink discharged to the print medium is fixed to the print medium by being supplied with energy; the print medium is a non-ink-absorptive or low-ink-absorptive print medium; and the specific ink contains 60% by mass or more of one or more kinds of organic solvent that have a boiling point of 120° C. to 240° C. and are selected from a group consisting of glycol ether-based solvents and non-protonic polar solvents in the ink composition.
