Abstract
A recording method includes: ejecting aqueous ink to a surface of a recording medium by an ejection head, the aqueous ink containing a colorant, polymer particles having a glass-transition temperature Tg of 35° C. to 65° C., and a solvent containing water and an aqueous organic solvent, the aqueous ink having a viscosity ratio (V35/Vi) of a viscosity V35 that is obtained when the aqueous ink is heated at 35° C. for 30 minutes to an initial viscosity Vi of the aqueous ink being lower than 2.0 and a viscosity ratio (V65/Vi) of a viscosity V65 that is obtained when the aqueous ink is heated at 65° C. for 30 minutes to Vi being 8.0 to 20.0; and drying the aqueous ink ejected to the recording medium. The head temperature Th of the ejection head, the glass-transition temperature Tg, and the drying temperature Td satisfy an expression: Th<Tg<Td.
