Claim 16:
17. An ink heating method of using the ink discharging apparatus as defined claim 1, the ink heating method comprising heating, by the heater; the recording medium or the water-based ink for recording adhered to the recording medium, wherein
the ink heating method satisfies the following condition (I):, 6

in the condition (I),
α (° C.) being a glass transition temperature of the resin fine particles, and
β(J/cm2) being an irradiation energy, radiated from the heater, per unit area of the recording medium.
