Abstract
A recording method includes heating a recording medium and attaching an ink composition including an organic solvent and water to the heated recording medium by performing a main scanning a plurality of times. In each main scanning the ink composition is ejected from a recording head while a position of the recording head relative to the recording medium in a main scanning direction is changed. In the ink composition, an absolute value of a difference between a surface tension of the ink composition and a surface tension of the ink composition when the ink composition is evaporated up to an evaporation amount of 0% to 40% by mass is 1 mN/m or less.
