Abstract
A recording apparatus includes a recording head including a plurality of heating elements, a sheet-like recording medium formed of a plurality of laminated color-developing layers for developing a plurality of colors. A first condition is satisfied when a subsequent pixel, located at the same position as a target pixel to be recorded following the target pixel, is a pixel for developing a color of a bottom color-developing layer of the recording medium. In a case where a value of the target pixel in the image data is a predetermined value and does not satisfy the first condition, the pulse control unit controls the pulse so that a thermal energy to be applied to the recording medium by the recording head in forming the target pixel is lower than if the first condition is satisfied.
