Abstract:
A high-gloss, precise and vivid image is printed appropriately. The printing method performs a printing using a color ink on a medium, and includes: a color ink layer forming step of ejecting the color ink to a medium to form a layer of the color ink, that is, a colored ink layer on the medium; and a glossing step of performing a process for increasing a gloss of the colored 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 adhering to the medium to remove by evaporation at least a part of the solvent included in the color ink. In the glossing step, the gloss of the colored ink layer is increased after a part of the solvent is removed by evaporation.

Claim (Index 8):
The printing method according to  claim 6 , wherein\n a thermoplastic ink is used as the light-transmitting ink, and in the glossing step, the layer of the light-transmitting ink on the medium is planarized by applying a pressure to the layer of the light-transmitting ink, while heating the layer of the light-transmitting ink.
