Abstract:
An aqueous ink jet ink composition according to the present embodiment is an aqueous ink jet ink composition for use in an ink jet recording method that includes ejecting ink from an ink jet head. The ink jet head includes nozzles that have a side wall surface, and the side wall surface has a scalloped shape in which a scallop width S1 and a notch depth S2 satisfy S1/S2≥4. The aqueous ink jet ink composition includes a self-dispersed pigment and a solvent that includes a compound represented by formula (1) below. R1—O—R2—OH  (1)In formula (1), R1 represents a hydrogen atom, a methyl group, or an ethyl group, and R2 represents a divalent saturated hydrocarbon group having 5 or fewer carbon atoms or represents a group represented by formula (2) below. R3—O—R4  (2)In formula (2), R3 and R4 each independently represent a divalent saturated hydrocarbon group having 2 or 3 carbon atoms.
