Abstract
An image forming method using an ink jet is disclosed. A pigment ink containing a dispersed pigment is jetted onto an ink jet recording medium. The recording medium support having as the outermost layer an ink receptive layer comprising thermoplastic resinous particles and a pigment ink solvent absorptive layer adjacent to said ink receptive layer. The fine thermoplastic particle ink receptive layer is the outermost layer onto which the ink is jetted. Thereafter, the outermost layer containing the jetted ink is transparentized by simultaneous application of heat and pressure to obtain an image.
