Recording method and recording apparatus

摘要

Disclosed are a recording method and a recording apparatus which are superior in transfer performance such as transfer sensitivity and transfer speed. When causing ink held in a transfer section to fly upon heating by a heater to be transferred onto a transfer target member placed opposite to the transfer section, a surface tension gradient and/or an interface tension gradient is developed in the surface of the ink under the heating, and the ink is forced to fly in the form of a mist by utilizing the Marangoni flow of the ink caused by the surface tension gradient and/or the interface tension gradient.
