Abstract

A printing method is provided, wherein the printing method including: printing an ink, having a total surface free energy γ calculated from the Kaelble-Uy theoretical formula of 25 to 30 mN/m, and a dispersive component ratio γdr represented by a formula (1) shown below of 0.55 to 0.75, onto a recording medium, and transporting the recording medium using a transport member that opposes at least a printed surface of the printed recording medium, wherein the transport member has a total surface free energy γ calculated from the Kaelble-Uy theoretical formula of 20 mN/m or less, and a dispersive component ratio γdr represented by the formula (1) shown below of 0.75 to 1.00: γdr=γd/γ (1), wherein γdr represents the dispersive component ratio, γd represents a surface free energy of as dispersive component, and γ represents the total surface free energy.
