Ink jet printing method and ink jet printing apparatus
First Claim
1. An ink jet printing method using an ink jet printing apparatus comprising a head provided with a nozzle for discharging an ink onto a recording medium, and a heating means for heating the recording medium from a back side of a surface of the recording medium, which faces a surface of the head on which the nozzle is provided,wherein the ink contains a solvent, a colorant and a resin, in which the resin is emulsionized or suspended, and the ink is dried to form a coating,the ink jet printing method comprising:
- a drying step, in which the ink is dried by the heating means after the ink is landed on the recording medium; and
an after-heating step, for heating the recording medium from the back side of the surface onto which the ink is landed at a downstream position from the heating means;
wherein the ink jet printing apparatus further comprises;
a blower, being disposed above the heating means and the blower blows an air to the surface of the recording medium onto which the ink is landed;
wherein the blower has no means for heating the air.
