Abstract
A printing method capable of appropriately drying a printing medium is provided. The printing method includes an ink application step and a drying step of drying a printing medium to which ink has been applied at the ink application step. In a case where a printing medium is a first type, at the drying step, the printing medium is dried by using a first drying method so that the water content of the printing medium is included within a predetermined range. In a case where a printing medium is a second type whose tendency to contain water is stronger than that of the first type, at the drying step, the printing medium is dried by using a second drying method whose drying effect is higher than that of the first drying method so that the water content of the printing medium is included within the predetermined range.
