An image recording method includes a first intermediate image forming step of applying an ink onto an intermediate transfer member to form a first intermediate image, a second intermediate image forming step of applying a transfer assisting liquid containing thermoplastic resin particles and rosin-based resin particles to the first intermediate image formed on the intermediate transfer member to form a second intermediate image, and a transfer step of bringing the second intermediate image formed on the intermediate transfer member into contact with a recording medium, peeling off the second intermediate image from the intermediate transfer member while the contact state with the recording medium is maintained, and transferring the second intermediate image to the recording medium. In the transfer step, the second intermediate image brought into contact with the recording medium has a temperature not less than the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin particles.

Image recording method, and transfer assisting liquid and liquid set used therefor

There is provided an ink jet recording method which records an image on a recording medium using aqueous ink. The ink jet recording method includes an intermediate image forming step of forming an intermediate image by applying aqueous ink to a transfer body and then applying an aqueous transfer promotion liquid to a region of the transfer body in which the aqueous ink is applied; and a transferring step of transferring the intermediate image by bring the intermediate image into contact with the recording medium in this order. The transfer promotion liquid contains a rosin particle formed by containing a rosin ester resin, an anionic emulsifier and a nonionic emulsifier, and the content of an alkali metal ion in the transfer promotion liquid is more than that of an alkali metal ion in the ink.

Ink jet recording method and ink jet recording apparatus

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to generate, in a simulation space, a rectangular parallelepiped surrounding a target part among a plurality of parts. The target part is taken by a human body. The rectangular parallelepiped has surfaces in contact with a maximum outer shape of the target part. The processor is configured to identify, among the surfaces of the generated rectangular parallelepiped, surfaces other than a surface in contact with a part different from the target part, and select combinations of two surfaces among the identified surfaces. The processor is configured to identify, among the selected combinations, a combination which satisfies a condition that a vector from a point of a first finger to a point of a second finger penetrates the rectangular parallelepiped when the two surfaces in the combination are taken by the two fingers. The two fingers are included in the human body.
