Abstract

The present invention relates to a liquid composition for use in forming a colored portion by imparting it together with an ink containing a colorant to a recording medium. The liquid composition includes at least a solvent and fine particles reactive with the colorant, in which the fine particles in the liquid composition have an average particle diameter in a range of 30 to 200 nm, and a 10% cumulative value of scattering intensity of 10 nm or more and 90% cumulative value of scattering intensity of 300 nm or less, when measured by a dynamic light scattering method.
