A recording device comprising:
- a recording unit including
- a first recording part where there are provided at least
- a first discharge orifice row where a plurality of discharge orifices that discharge a first ink are arrayed in a predetermined direction, and
- a second discharge orifice row where a plurality of discharge orifices that discharge a second ink of a different type from the first ink are arrayed in the predetermined direction, and
- a second recording part where there are provided at least
- a third discharge orifice row where a plurality of discharge orifices that discharge the first ink are arrayed in the predetermined direction, and
- a fourth discharge orifice row where a plurality of discharge orifices that discharge the second ink are arrayed in the predetermined direction,
- the first recording part and the second recording part being disposed separately from each other in an intersecting direction that intersects the predetermined direction;
- a scanning unit configured to perform recording scanning by moving the recording unit in the intersecting direction;
- and
- a recording control unit configured to, in a same recording scan by the scanning unit,
- perform recording of a first region on the recording medium in the intersecting direction, including one edge of the recording medium, by only the first recording part,
- perform recording of a second region in the intersecting direction, including the other edge of the recording medium, by only the second recording part, and
- perform recording of a third region on the recording medium between the first region and the second region in the intersecting direction, by both the first recording part and the second recording part,
- wherein the first ink has a higher permeation speed as to the recording medium than the permeation speed of the second ink as to the recording medium,
- and wherein a distance between the first discharge orifice row and the third discharge orifice row in the intersecting direction is a first distance, and a distance between the second discharge orifice row and the fourth discharge orifice row in the intersecting direction is a second distance that is longer than the first distance.
