Abstract
An image recording apparatus includes: a jetting head which is movable in a main scanning direction and which has nozzles configured to jet an ultraviolet-curable type ink onto a printing medium; a light source which is configured to irradiate the ultraviolet-curable type ink jetted onto the printing medium with an ultraviolet ray; a movement mechanism which is configured to relatively move the printing medium with respect to the jetting head in a subsidiary scanning direction orthogonal to the main scanning direction; and a controller. The controller is configured to cause the ink contained in the jetting head to be agitated without jetting the ink at least during irradiation with the ultraviolet ray by the light source.
