To provide a method for producing a high gloss ink jet recording material which enables high speed application without forming a surface crack in the ink jet recording material coated with an ink receiving layer coating liquid comprising fine inorganic particles and a water-soluble binder.

In the method for producing the ink jet recording material having the ink receiving layer formed by applying the coating liquid containing the fine inorganic particles and the hydrophilic binder on a support, the viscosity of the coating liquid at an application temperature is 100-300 mPa.s, the support is subjected to electrical treatment in advance of application, and the coating liquid is applied with the voltage of the surface of the support immediately before the application kept at 300-1,500 V.
