Abstract
An intermediate transfer ink jet recording method comprising forming an ink image on an intermediate transfer medium by ink jet recording and then transferring the ink image from the intermediate transfer medium onto a recording medium, which method enables an excellent image to be formed on the intermediate transfer medium and the image to be efficiently transferred from the intermediate transfer medium to the recording medium. The intermediate transfer ink jet recording method of the invention is characterized by ejecting an ink composition on an intermediate transfer medium carrying, on the surface thereof, a surfactant having an HLB value of 2 to 15 to form an ink image and transferring the ink image formed on the intermediate transfer medium to a recording medium.
