Image recording method by serially transferring intermediate images

Abstract

Provided is an image recording method, including an intermediate image formation step of forming an intermediate image by applying ink onto a first intermediate transfer member; a first transfer step of transferring, onto a second intermediate transfer member, the intermediate image that is formed on the first intermediate transfer member; and a second transfer step of transferring, onto a recording medium, the intermediate image that is transferred onto the second intermediate transfer member, in which the following relationship is satisfied: Fa<Fb<Fc, where Fa represents an adhesion force between the first intermediate transfer member and the intermediate image, Fb represents an adhesion force between the second intermediate transfer member and the intermediate image, and Fc represents an adhesion force between the recording medium and the intermediate image.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
