Abstract
A printing method is provided that includes: applying a pretreatment liquid to a planned formation region of a printing liquid image and an overhang region on a target printing medium to form a pretreatment liquid image with the pretreatment liquid; moving a leveling member on the pretreatment liquid image; and applying a printing liquid to the pretreatment liquid image to form the printing liquid image with the printing liquid. The overhang region is adjacent to and upstream of the planned formation region of the printing liquid image in a movement direction of the leveling member.
Claims5
A printing method comprising:
- applying a pretreatment liquid to a planned formation region of a printing liquid image and an overhang region on a target printing medium to form a pretreatment liquid image with the pretreatment liquid;
- moving a leveling member on the pretreatment liquid image;
- and
- applying a printing liquid to the pretreatment liquid image to form the printing liquid image with the printing liquid;
- wherein an application density of the pretreatment liquid in a downstream edge portion of the planned formation region of the printing liquid image in a movement direction of the leveling member is lower than an application density of the pretreatment liquid in the pretreatment liquid image excluding the downstream edge portion.
