Abstract

Abstract A recording liquid comprises at least one of certain specified dyes carbon black, a water-soluble resin, a water-soluble organic solvent and water. The organic solvent includes polyhydric alcohol and/or its alkyl ether and an aliphatic monohydric alcohol. The water-soluble resin has an acid value of 50 to 300. The amount of the dissolved water-soluble resin is not more than 2% by weight. A method for ink jet recording comprises ejecting the recording liquid as liquid droplets from fine orifices by endowing the recording liquid with heat energy.
