Abstract:
A wider variety of printing is performed more appropriately using ink that generates heat by energy radiation. A printing method of performing a printing on a medium using a color ink includes a water-soluble ink layer forming step of forming a water-soluble ink layer that is a layer of ink that becomes water-soluble after fixing, a color ink layer forming step of ejecting the color ink to the medium to form a color ink layer that is a layer of the color ink, and a water-soluble ink layer removing step of removing the water-soluble ink layer. The color ink includes a colorant and a solvent and generates heat by radiation of an energy ray. In the color ink layer forming step, the energy ray is emitted to the color ink after ink droplets landing to remove by evaporation at least a part of the solvent included in the color ink.

Claim (Index 11):
A printing method of performing a printing on a medium using a color ink, the color ink being an ink having a color and including a colorant, the printing method comprising:\n a water-soluble ink layer forming step of forming a water-soluble ink layer, the water-soluble ink layer being a layer of ink that becomes water-soluble after fixing; a color ink layer forming step of ejecting the color ink to the medium to form a layer of the color ink on the water-soluble ink layer; a color development step of developing the colorant included in the color ink; and a water-soluble ink layer removing step of removing the water-soluble ink layer, wherein the color ink including a dye as the colorant, the dye being developed through a color development process, and in the color development step, the dye is developed through the color development process, and the dye passing through the water-soluble ink layer adheres to the medium, before the water-soluble ink layer is removed in the water-soluble ink layer removing step.
