An ink jet recording method performs recording on a recording medium using a white ink composition, a non-white ink composition, and a treatment liquid containing an aggregating agent, the method including: a treatment liquid adhesion step of adhering the treatment liquid to the recording medium to form a treatment liquid layer; a non-white ink adhesion step of adhering the non-white ink composition to the recording medium by ejection thereof from an ink jet head to form a non-white ink layer; and a white ink adhesion step of adhering the white ink composition to the recording medium by ejection thereof from an ink jet head to form a white ink layer. The recording medium has a region in which the non-white ink layer, the white ink layer, and the treatment liquid layer are overlapped with each other, at least one of the ink compositions contains resin particles and a water-soluble resin, and the water-soluble resin has a glass transition temperature higher than that of a resin of the resin particles.

A method of manufacturing of an ink (100) composition comprises a biphasic ligand exchange process. A first phase liquid (10) comprising a nonpolar solvent (11) with a colloidal suspension of nanoparticles (1) that are capped with a shell of non polar ligands (2) is contacted with a second phase liquid (20) comprising a polar solvent (21) with second ligand (3). The second ligand comprises at least one surface binding head group that has an affinity for binding to the nanoparticle; and an ionically charged tail group. The second ligands displace the first ligands to form a dispersion of the nanoparticles that are capped with a shell of the second ligands in the second phase liquid. The nanoparticles can be separated from the second phase liquid. The separated nanoparticles can be (re)dispersed in a printable liquid medium, e.g. used for printing a photoactive layer.
