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 9):
A printing device configured to perform a printing on a medium using a color ink, the color ink being an ink having a color, the printing device comprising:\n a water-soluble ink layer-former, configured to form a water-soluble ink layer, the water-soluble ink layer being a layer of ink that becomes water-soluble after fixing; and a color ink layer-former, configured to eject the color ink to the medium to form a layer of the color ink, wherein the water-soluble ink layer is a layer of ink to be removed until the printing is finished, the color ink includes a colorant and a solvent, and the color ink generates heat by radiation of an energy ray, and the color ink layer-former emits the energy ray to the color ink after ink droplets landing to remove by evaporation at least a part of the solvent included in the color ink.
