RECORDING DEVICE AND RECORDING METHOD

The invention provides a recording apparatus and a recording method. The present invention addresses the problem of causing a phenomenon of uneven concentration due to the low degree of penetration of ink as a result of recording in an OL recording region in a recording medium. The recording apparatus includes: a recording head including a plurality of first nozzles that eject a first ink and a plurality of second nozzles that eject a penetrating fluid that promotes penetration of the first ink into a recording medium; and a control unit that controls the recording head to eject the first ink onto the recording medium, and records, on the recording medium, an image formed by arranging a plurality of gate lines extending in the first direction in a second direction intersecting the first direction. The control unit is configured to: cause the recording head to record each gate line of an overlapping region in an image in an OL manner; record the penetrating fluid through a second nozzle for at least a partial
