Recording device and recording method

A recording method of performing recording by controlling a recording unit configured to perform recording of a plurality of types of recording materials on a medium, the recording method comprising:

• when the recording unit performs recording on the medium in accordance with recording data for recording a plurality of types of recording materials in a same region on the medium,
• an identification step of identifying a first recording material with a relatively high recording density in the same region, and a second recording material with a lower recording density in the same region than that of the first recording material, based on recording data;
• and
• a recording step of performing recording such that a second region in which recording is performed with the second recording material corresponding to the same region is smaller than a first region in which recording is performed with the first recording material corresponding to the same region, wherein
• when an attribute of an image represented by the recording data is a first attribute corresponding to a letter or a ruled line, a difference between the first region and the second region corresponding to the same region is increased than when the attribute of the image represented by the recording data is a second attribute that is not the first attribute.
