Patent ID: 8342678

Claim:
An inkjet recording method for recording an image, comprising: ejecting at least two ink compositions on an inkjet recording medium having a support and an ink-receiving layer on the support; and providing the ink-receiving layer having a porous layer that contains inorganic microparticles and a water-soluble resin; wherein the porous layer has a porosity of at least 50%, the porosity determined by the following Equation (1): porosity=absorption capacity/thickness of porous layer×100, Equation (1) wherein the absorption capacity is measured in mL/m 2 of diethylene glycol absorbed by the porous layer, and the thickness is measured in μm; wherein a maximum total ejection amount of the at least two ink compositions (mL/m 2 ) is less than 90% of the absorption capacity (mL/m 2 ) of diethylene glycol, the maximum total ejection amount determined by the following Equation (2): maximum total ejection amount=maximum ejection amount of one dot(mL/m 2 )×total ejection amount of ink(%); Equation (2) wherein the total ejection amount of ink represents a total of actual ejection amounts (%) of the respective at least two ink compositions relative to a total of preset ejection amounts of the respective at least two ink compositions.
