Ink jet recording ink, ink jet image forming method and ink jet recording apparatus
The invention provides an ink jet recording ink containing a self-dispersion pigment to a surface of which an anionic functional group represented by the following general formula (1) is bonded directly or through another atomic group, an ammonium salt of an organic carboxylic acid, water, and a water-soluble compound having a hydrophilicity-hydrophobicity coefficient of 0.26 or more as defined by the following equation (A), the ink having a surface tension of 34 mN/m or less,wherein M1 and M2 are, independently of each other, a hydrogen atom, alkali metal, ammonium or organic ammonium;Hydrophilicity-hydrophobicity coefficient=[(Water activity of a 20% aqueous solution)−(Molar fraction of water in the 20% aqueous solution)]/[1−(Molar fraction of water in the 20% aqueous solution)]  (A).
