An inkjet recording method which prints out by ejecting onto a recording medium an ink set for inkjet use, wherein the ink set includes at least: a first liquid containing at least a coloring material, a water soluble solvent and water; a second liquid containing at least a coagulant, a water soluble solvent and water; and a third liquid containing at least a coagulant, a water soluble solvent and water; wherein, (A) printing modes include a single sided printing mode and a double sided printing mode, (B) when the single sided printing mode is selected printing is carried out by ejecting the first liquid and the second liquid, (C) when the double sided printing mode is selected printing is carried out by ejecting the first liquid and the third liquid, (D) the relationship 0.01<(P.sub.1-3)/(P.sub.1-2)<1 is substantially satisfied where (P.sub.1-2) represents the number of coarse particles of size 1 .mu.m or larger of a mixed liquid, mixed in the application ratio per unit of surface area when the single sided printing is selected, of the first liquid and the second liquid, and where (P.sub.1-3) represents the number of coarse particles of size 1 .mu.m or larger of the mixed liquid, mixed in the application ratio per unit of surface area when the double sided printing is selected, of the first liquid and the third liquid.Also, an apparatus which uses this recording method is described.
