Abstract:
1. An image recording method comprising: an intermediate image-recording step of recording an intermediate image by applying ink to an intermediate transfer body; and a transfer step of transferring the intermediate image to a recording medium by heating the intermediate image to a transfer temperature, wherein the ink contains polymer particles having a softening point not higher than the transfer temperature and at least one of a compound represented by the following formula (1) and a compound represented by the following formula (2): where R is an alkyl group containing one to 22 carbon atoms, n is 3.0 to 27.0, m is 2.0 to 15.0, the sum of p and r is 3.0 to 27.0, and q is 16.0 to 31.0, wherein the sum of the content of the compound represented by Formula (1) in the ink and the content of the compound represented by Formula (2) in the ink is preferably 0.15 to 10.00 times the content of the polymer particles in the ink on a mass basis.
