A recording method for use in a recording system for completing an image by multiple scans of a recording head includes the steps of reading an image recorded by a predetermined number of scans among the multiple scans of the recording head except at least the last scan, and correcting, based on a result of reading the image in the reading step, data for an image to be recorded by one or more scans subsequent to the predetermined number of scans. An image is correctively recorded by performing one or more scans subsequent to the predetermined number of scans in accordance with the corrected data.
