Provided is an ink jet recording method by which even when a multicolor image is recorded with an ink jet recording apparatus including an ink storage portion having an ink inlet port arranged in its upper portion by applying a plurality of aqueous inks each comprising a pigment to a recording medium, an image excellent in abrasion resistance can be stably recorded over along time period. The method is an ink jet recording method for recording an image on a recording medium with an ink jet recording apparatus including: a plurality of aqueous inks each comprising a pigment; an ink storage portion; a recording head; and an ink supply path. The aqueous inks include a first ink to be applied earlier to the recording medium and a second ink to be applied later to the recording medium, and the first ink has a redispersibility index of 0.90 or more.

An ink contains organic solvents containing 1,2-propane diol and 1,2-hexane diol, a pigment, water, and a polyoxyethylene ether compound.

The present invention provides photoluminescent iron-doped barium stannate materials absorbing ultraviolet (UV) light and exhibiting strong near-infrared (NIR) luminescence. Such materials exhibit increased integrated photoluminescence intensity in comparison to known BaSnO.sub.3 and iron-doped barium stannate materials, and therefore they are particularly useful for the production of photoluminescent security ink compositions and transparent covert security features with improved anti-counterfeiting resistance that can be used for protection of documents and articles against counterfeit and illegal reproduction.
