Recording method and recording apparatus

A method for recording images on a sheet having a first and a second side, using at least one inkjet recording head having nozzles, comprising:

• supplying a first humidified gas to the first side of the sheet, with a first supply port;
• supplying a second humidified gas to a space where the nozzles are exposed, with a second supply port located at a position closer to the recording head than the first supply port;
• recording in the space where atmosphere humidity is increased, using the inkjet recording head, on the first side of the sheet having a moisture content increased;
• and
• after the recording reversing the sheet upside down;
• after the reversing supplying the first humidified gas to the second side of the sheet, with the first supply port;
• and
• recording in the space, using the inkjet recording head, on the second side of the sheet having the moisture content increased.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a recording unit including a recording head of an inkjet type in which nozzles are formed;
• a first supply port for supplying first humidified gas to a sheet to be conveyed;
• and
• a second supply port for supplying second humidified gas to a space where the nozzles are exposed, the second supply port is provided at a position between to the recording head and the first supply port in a direction in which the sheet is conveyed;
• and
• a control unit configured to control setting of an amount of humidification with the humidified gas supplied with the first supply port according to a recording condition.
