Abstract
A recording apparatus includes an ink applying unit which applies, based on image data, ink containing coloring material, on a recording medium to record an image for the image data; a treatment-solution applying unit which applies treatment solution containing acid for agglomerating components in the ink, at and around an ink application position on the recording medium; a neutralizing unit which applies neutralizing solution for neutralizing the acid, on the recording medium on which the treatment solution and the ink have been applied; and a determining unit which, based on the image data and position data for application of the treatment solution, determines a neutralizing-solution application region so that only at least a part of a region in which only the treatment solution is applied on the recording medium is set as the neutralizing-solution application region. The neutralizing unit applies the neutralizing solution in the determined neutralizing-solution application region.
