Abstract
An image recording method includes a liquid composition-applying step in which a liquid composition is applied onto an intermediate transfer body, an intermediate-image-forming step in which an ink containing a colorant is applied onto the intermediate transfer body to form an intermediate image, and a transferring step in which the intermediate image is heated to a transfer temperature Tand transferred onto a recording medium. The liquid composition includes first polymer particles. The ink includes second polymer particles. In the transferring step, Tg<T<Tg, where Tgdenotes a glass transition point of the first polymer particles and Tgdenotes a glass transition point of the second polymer particles.
