Recording apparatus

A recording apparatus comprising:

• a recording unit including a plurality of nozzle rows including a first nozzle row where a plurality of nozzles operating to apply colorant ink containing a colorant is arranged and a second nozzle row where a plurality of nozzles operating to apply a reaction solution to react with the colorant is arranged;
• and
• one or more processors that operate to:
• determine an amount of the colorant ink and an amount of the reaction solution to be applied to a recording medium based on input image data;
• and
• (i) determine a dot arrangement of the colorant ink based on the amount of the colorant ink and a first dither pattern corresponding to the colorant ink, and (ii) determine a dot arrangement of the reaction solution based on the amount of the reaction solution and a second dither pattern corresponding to the reaction solution,
• wherein a first number, which is a number of pixels overlapping between a dot arrangement with gradation values smaller than a median of all gradations in the first dither pattern and a dot arrangement with gradation values smaller than a median of all gradations in the second dither pattern, is greater than a second number, which is a number of pixels overlapping between a dot arrangement with gradation values greater than the median of all the gradations in the first dither pattern and the dot arrangement with the gradation values smaller than the median of all the gradations in the second dither pattern.
