An ink jet recording method comprising: discharging an ultraviolet curable ink from a head toward a recording medium; wherein the ink comprises: i. vinyl ether group-containing (meth)acrylic acid esters represented by the following General Formula: CH 2 =CR 1 -COOR 2 -O-CH=CH-R 3..., wherein: R 1 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R 2 is a divalent organic residue having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, and R 3 is a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic residue having 1 to 11 carbon atoms; and ii. a monofunctional (meth)acrylate other than the vinyl ether group-containing (meth)acrylic acid esters; and wherein the viscosity of the ink is 7 mPa·s or more at 20°C, and curing the ultraviolet curable ink adhered to the recording medium, wherein, in the discharging, the temperature of the ultraviolet curable ink discharged is 20 to 30°C, and the viscosity of the ultraviolet curable ink at the temperature is 13 mPa·s or less, and wherein, when a unit region in which a dot is formed is employed as a pixel, and an array of pixels arranged in a main scanning direction is employed as a raster line, there is a raster line including pixels in which dots are formed by another main scanning between raster lines including pixels in which dots are formed by one main scanning in a sub-scanning direction, and a plurality of raster lines arranged in the sub-scanning direction includes a raster line made of pixels in which dots are formed by a certain main scanning, and pixels in which dots are not formed by the certain main scanning but dots are formed by another round of main scanning. discharging an ultraviolet curable ink from a head toward a recording medium; wherein the ink comprises: i. vinyl ether group-containing (meth)acrylic acid esters represented by the following General Formula: CH 2 =CR 1 -COOR 2 -O-CH=CH-R 3..., wherein: R 1 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R 2 is a divalent organic residue having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, and R 3 is a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic residue having 1 to 11 carbon atoms; and ii. a monofunctional (meth)acrylate other than the vinyl ether group-containing (meth)acrylic acid esters; and wherein the viscosity of the ink is 7 mPa·s or more at 20°C, and i. vinyl ether group-containing (meth)acrylic acid esters represented by the following General Formula: CH 2 =CR 1 -COOR 2 -O-CH=CH-R 3..., wherein: R 1 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R 2 is a divalent organic residue having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, and R 3 is a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic residue having 1 to 11 carbon atoms; and R 1 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R 2 is a divalent organic residue having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, and R 3 is a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic residue having 1 to 11 carbon atoms; and ii. a monofunctional (meth)acrylate other than the vinyl ether group-containing (meth)acrylic acid esters; curing the ultraviolet curable ink adhered to the recording medium, wherein, in the discharging, the temperature of the ultraviolet curable ink discharged is 20 to 30°C, and the viscosity of the ultraviolet curable ink at the temperature is 13 mPa·s or less, and wherein, when a unit region in which a dot is formed is employed as a pixel, and an array of pixels arranged in a main scanning direction is employed as a raster line, there is a raster line including pixels in which dots are formed by another main scanning between raster lines including pixels in which dots are formed by one main scanning in a sub-scanning direction, and a plurality of raster lines arranged in the sub-scanning direction includes a raster line made of pixels in which dots are formed by a certain main scanning, and pixels in which dots are not formed by the certain main scanning but dots are formed by another round of main scanning.
