Abstract:
1. A recording method for recording an image on a recording medium by using a recording head capable of ejecting a first ink droplet and a second ink droplet of a size smaller than that of the first ink droplet, said method comprising the steps of: generating image data, corresponding to a first region including a neighborhood of an end of the recording medium, for allowing ejection of the first ink droplet without ejection of the second ink droplet to the first region; generating image data, corresponding to a second region including a central portion of the recording medium, for allowing ejection of the second ink droplet without ejection of the first ink droplet to the second region; causing the recording head to eject the first ink droplet to the first region based on the image data corresponding to the first region; and causing the recording head to eject the second ink droplet to the second region based on the image data corresponding to the second region.
