Abstract
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.
