Claim 15:
16. A water-based ink for recording, comprising:
a resin-dispersed pigment,
resin fine particles,
water, and
a first water-soluble organic solvent of which saturated vapor pressure at 20° C. is in a range of 0.03 hPa to 2.20 hPa, the first water-soluble organic solvent being included in a range of 10% by mass to 40% by mass to an entire amount of the water-based ink for recording,
wherein a content amount of a second water-soluble organic solvent, of which saturated vapor pressure at 20° C. is greater than 2.20 hPa, is less than 3% by mass to the entire amount of the water-based ink for recording;
a content amount of a third water-soluble organic solvent, of which saturated vapor pressure at 20° C. is less than 0.03 hPa, is less than 10% by mass to the entire amount of the water-based ink for recording; and
wherein the water-based ink for recording discharged from a printing head is fixed to a recording medium in a state that the recording medium is heated by a heater so that a cumulative heating amount received per unit area of the recording medium from the heater is in a range of 0.7 J/cm2 to 2.9 J/cm2.
