Abstract: A recording medium includes a substrate and an ink-receiving layer, wherein the ink-receiving layer contains an inorganic particle and a binder, and does not contain any water-soluble resin or contains a water-soluble resin such that a ratio of the content of the water-soluble resin to the content of the binder in the ink-receiving layer is 20% by mass or less, the binder contains at least one component selected from the group consisting of acrylic resins, polycarbonate-modified urethane resins, and polyether-modified urethane resins, and, for the recording medium, a ratio of a total pore volume in a pore radius range of 7 nm or more and 20 nm or less to a total pore volume in a pore radius range of 0 nm or more and 20 nm or less is 25% by volume or less.

Abstract: When an image is printed with inks each containing a polymer emulsion and a film forming agent, the ejection of the inks is controlled so that the ink having a relatively low dynamic surface tension forms dots having a higher dot connectivity than the dots formed with the ink having a relatively high dynamic surface tension.
