Ink jet recording method

1. An ink jet recording method of recording an image by using at least a first ink composition containing water, a surfactant, and a first coloring material and a second ink composition containing a second coloring material different from the first coloring material on a recording medium, the method comprising:

recording an image on the recording medium by causing a first recording head that ejects the first ink composition and a second recording head that ejects the second ink composition to eject the first ink composition and the second ink composition while relative positions thereof with respect to the recording medium are changed,

wherein, in the recording of the image, a time after the first ink composition is ejected to a predetermined area of the recording medium and before the second ink composition is ejected to the predetermined area is in the range of 10 ms to 2,000 ms,

wherein a viscosity of the ink composition at 20° C. when the first ink composition is ejected is 15 mPa·s or less, and

wherein the viscosity at 20° C. when 50% of a volatile component contained in the first ink composition is volatilized is 100 mPa·s or greater.

2. The ink jet recording method according to claim 1 ,

wherein, when the second ink composition is ejected to the predetermined area, a volatile component contained in the first ink composition attached to the predetermined area is volatilized by 50% or more of the volatile component originally contained in the first ink composition.

3. The ink jet recording method according to claim 1 ,

wherein a content of the surfactant contained in the first ink composition is 0.5% by mass or greater with respect to a total mass of the first ink composition.

4. The ink jet recording method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first ink composition contains at least one of a resin emulsion and a polymerizable compound, and

wherein a content of the resin emulsion and the polymerizable compound when converted into a solid content is in a range of 2% by mass to 25% by mass with respect to a total mass of the first ink composition.

5. The ink jet recording method according to claim 1 ,

wherein a content of a non-volatile component contained in the first ink composition is in a range of 3% by mass to 40% by mass with respect to a total mass of the first ink composition.

6. The ink jet recording method according to claim 1 ,

wherein a content of water contained in the first ink composition is 50% by mass or greater with respect to a total mass of the first ink composition.

7. The ink jet recording method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first ink composition is an ultraviolet light curing ink composition containing a polymerizable compound, and

wherein the ink jet recording method includes irradiating the first ink composition with ultraviolet light in order to cure the first ink composition.

8. The ink jet recording method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the recording of the image is performed by performing the irradiation a plurality of times.

9. The ink jet recording method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the recording of the image is performed by performing the irradiation one time.

10. The ink jet recording method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the recording of the image includes heating of the recording medium between the ejection of the first ink composition and the ejection of the second ink composition.

11. The ink jet recording method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first recording head includes a first nozzle group block and a second nozzle group block, and

wherein the first nozzle group block and the second nozzle group block are different from each other in position in a scanning direction and different from each other in position in a direction intersecting to the scanning direction.
