To provide a recording device which can suppress lowering of glossiness of the surface of a recorded image, even in recording on a material having low ink absorptivity.SOLUTION: A recording device includes: a recording head for imparting ink containing a pigment, a water-soluble organic solvent and a resin for forming a film by being melted by heat onto a recording medium; conveyance means for conveying the recording medium; a first drying device which is arranged on the conveyance path of the recording medium by the conveyance means and dries the ink imparted by the recording medium by spraying gas; a second drying device which is arranged on the downstream side in the conveyance direction of the recording medium of the first drying device, and dries the ink imparted onto the recording medium by spraying gas; and control means for controlling the spraying of the gas by the first drying device and the spraying of the gas by the second drying device, so that the drying of the ink by the second drying device is performed with higher efficiency than the drying of the ink by the first drying device.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8 【課題】インクの吸収性の低い素材への記録においても、記録された画像表面の光沢の低下を抑制することができる記録装置を提供する。【解決手段】顔料、水溶性有機溶剤、熱で溶融して膜を形成する樹脂を含むインクを記録媒体に付与する記録ヘッドと、記録媒体を搬送する搬送手段と、搬送手段による記録媒体の搬送経路に配置され、気体を吹き付けることにより記録媒体に付与されたインクを乾燥させる第１の乾燥装置と、第１の乾燥装置よりも記録媒体の搬送方向の下流側に配置され、気体を吹き付けることにより記録媒体に付与されたインクを乾燥させる第２の乾燥装置と、第２の乾燥装置でのインクの乾燥が、第１の乾燥装置でのインクの乾燥よりも高効率で行われるように、第１の乾燥装置での気体の吹き付けと、第２の乾燥装置での気体の吹き付けとを制御する制御手段と、を備える。【選択図】図８
