To provide a imaging method in which in recording on an intermediate transfer body by using an inexpensive movable carriage type recording head, while the intermediate transfer body is conveyed continuously at a constant speed, powder application, recording, and transfer are done to curtail a recording time and simultaneously to miniaturize an apparatus and the apparatus for the method.

In an imaging apparatus having a scanning/recording means having a row of liquid ejection nozzles for ejecting liquid, the intermediate transfer body which is located at a distance from the means and conveyed continuously, and a transfer means for transferring an image formed on the intermediate transfer body to a recording body, a recording density conversion means for converting the recording density in accordance with the recording width of the image is provided.
