Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of forming an image includes a step of heating a nonporous substrate to a temperature in a range of from 30° C. to 80° C.; and a step of forming an image on the nonporous substrate by applying water-based inks of at least two colors to the nonporous substrate employing an ink jet technique, wherein an ink set that contains water-based inks each containing a coloring material, an emulsion resin, water, and a water-soluble solvent is used to apply the water-based inks of the at least two colors, and, of the water-based inks in the ink set, at least one water-based ink has a minimum film-forming temperature different from those of water-based inks of other colors.
