In an apparatus producing a high-quality and high-resolution image having high water and light resistances with an orifice having a diameter less than .phi.25 .mu.m (less than 500 .mu.m.sup.2 in terms of cross-sectional area of the orifice) by use of a fine particle dispersion recording composition, nozzle clogging can be prevented. A recording is accomplished by a liquid jet recording apparatus for ejecting a recording composition including dispersed fine particles from a small orifice toward a receiving medium, wherein a size D.sub.p of the fine particles and a diameter D.sub.o of the small orifice are determined by a relationship 0.001.ltoreq.D.sub.p /D.sub.o.ltoreq.0.01.
