Abstract
There is provided an ink discharging apparatus including: a conveyor, a head, a heater, and a controller. The controller is configured to control the conveyor and the heater so as to heat a recording medium or the water-based ink for recording adhered to the recording medium, while conveying the recording medium in a conveying direction. The water-based ink for recording includes: a resin-dispersed pigment, resin fine particles of which glass transition temperature is not less than 33° C., an organic solvent, and water. The ink discharging apparatus satisfies condition (I): 5≤(Tg−Th)≤40. In the condition (I), Tg (° C.) is the glass transition temperature of the resin fine particles, and Th (° C.) is a maximum surface temperature of the recording medium heated by the heater.
