Abstract

Disclosed is a material set for recording, including: an ink including a recording material, an organic solvent, and water; and ink receiving particles including an organic resin including hydrophilic monomer components and one or more hydrophobic monomer components, the hydrophilic monomer components including a monomer component having a hydroxyl group and a monomer component having a dissociable group, an absolute value of a difference between a solubility parameter (SP value) of the organic solvent included in the ink and a solubility parameter (SP value) of monomer components included in the organic resin, other than the monomer component having a dissociable group, being less than 5.
