A recording apparatus and a recording method for controlling and driving a recording head so that an image region formed by a first ink is located between alternate image regions formed by a second ink and that the ends of a region onto which a liquid is ejected are located with substantially the same interval as the end-to-end interval of the image region of the first ink, and are shifted to a plurality of locations. A plurality of timings of ejecting the liquid corresponding to the plurality of locations are stored in a memory device. Of these timings an optimum one is selected and input according to the result of recording and then the liquid is ejected at the optimum timing during recording. This ensures that even when plain paper is used as the recording medium, the liquid is ejected at the optimum timing at those positions in a boundary area between the ends of the image region of the first ink and the alternate image regions of the second ink which do not result in bleeding of the first and second inks. Hence, the adjustment of the ejection positions of the liquid and the first and second inks can easily be made.
