The present invention relates to a method for supplying an image-forming solution, and a method for heating control. The method for supplying the image-forming solution comprises heating an applying section, supplying the image-forming solution from a supply container to the applying section by operating a supply pump during start-up of an image recording apparatus, stopping the supply pump, opening a drainage valve, and discharging the image-forming solution to the supply container so that no image-forming solution remains in the applying section, waiting for an image recording operation, closing the drainage valve and operating the supply pump when the image recording operation is performed so that the applying section is charged with the image-forming solution each time an image recording operation is performed, opening the drainage valve after passage of the image-recording material through the applying section so that the image-forming solution in the applying section is discharged to the supply container, and returning the imarge recording apparatus to a state in which no image-forming solution remains in the applying section. The method for heating control for the image-forming solution comprises judging an operating state of the supply pump, and detecting the temperature in the vicinity of a liquid channel-formed area formed in a guide member, and controlling an output of a heater on the basis of a judged state and a detected temperature.
