An ink jet recording method that enables the recording of images which have a superior glossiness appropriate for production of photographic images, and which are especially superior in light fastness and ozone resistance. The image is formed on an ink jet recording medium by using an ink set, as the minimum constituent unit, having a yellow ink containing a yellow dye, a magenta ink containing a magenta dye, and a cyan ink containing a cyan dye, the magenta and cyan dyes having an oxidation potential of higher than 0.8 V (vs. SCE). The inkjet recording medium is heated and pressurized.
