Abstract
Abstract A waterproofing method for an ink jet record in a method of recording images on a recording sheet by an ink jet recording method using aqueous ink, comprising forming or applying, on at least the imaged portion of the recording sheet after forming images thereon, a compound represented by the formula M.sup.I M.sup.III (XO.sub.4).sub.2.12H.sub.2 O wherein M I represents a mono-valent metal atom or an ammonium group, M III represents a tri-valent metal atom, and X represents a sulfur atom or a selenium atom.
