An image recording method includes recording an intermediate image by applying an ink to an intermediate transfer body, the ink containing a coloring material and polymer fine particles; and transferring the intermediate image onto a recording medium while heating the intermediate. The polymer fine particles are composed of a copolymer of a first compound that satisfies condition (1) (a polymer obtained by homopolymerization of the first compound is a crystalline polymer having a melting point equal to or lower than a temperature of the transfer) and a second compound that satisfies condition (2) (a polymer obtained by homopolymerization of the second compound is an amorphous polymer having a glass transition point equal to or lower than the temperature of the transfer). |
