Recording method with variable recording interval

Abstract

A recording method for recording on a recording medium by using an ink jet recording head having plural electrothermal converting members and discharging ink using thermal energy generated by the electrothermal converting members. The method involves measuring a driving ratio of the electrothermal converting members for each one line, determining a time period between termination of recording of a previous line and commencement of a recording of the next line in accordance with the driving ratio responsive to the next line measured in the measuring step, and allowing the next line to be recorded after passage of the determined time period.
