Titanium oxide: polyvinyl alcohol = 1: 1
To be added. (Polyvinyl alcohol acts as a binder). Further, water (or a volatile solvent such as isopropyl alcohol) was added so that the viscosity became about 3 cp to obtain a white liquid composition.

As described above, in the ink jet recording system of the present invention, the liquid composition for adjusting the ink receiving layer is applied to the recording medium by using the ink jet recording apparatus, and then the ink receiving layer is cured by ultraviolet ray or heat. Since the ink is formed and the ink permeates and adheres to the receiving layer, it is possible to obtain a high-quality image excellent in fast drying property and weather resistance regardless of the recording medium.
