When the color printing is performed using a recording head arranged such that the number of nozzles for discharging the black ink is greater than the nozzles for discharging the inks of other colors, the use frequency of some nozzles among all the nozzles for discharging the black ink is higher, so that image unevenness may arise when transferred to the black printing.
The present invention provides an ink jet recording method and an ink jet recording apparatus in which the image unevenness often seen in the black printing involving the use of more nozzles than other colors, and the blur of recorded image seen in the image having black image and color image located adjacent are reduced.
