Abstract
An ink jet recording method records an image on a recording medium by adhering inks of a plurality of hues on the recording medium. The ink jet recording method includes the steps of (a) carrying out a recording using two kinds of inks having different diffusibilities with respect to the recording medium for at least a predetermined one of the hues, where a first ink out of the two kinds of inks has a diffusibility which is lower than a diffusibility of an ink having a hue other than the predetermined hue, and (b) at a boundary portion on the recording medium where a first recording region which includes the predetermined hue and a second recording region which includes a hue different from the predetermined hue are adjacent to each other, recording at least a portion of the boundary region with a predetermined recording width up to the second recording region using a second ink out of the two kinds of inks having a diffusibility higher than that of the first ink and recording a remaining portion of the boundary region using the second ink.
