Abstract

An image recording apparatus including: a head; a feeding mechanism; an image reading portion; a test recording controller which controls the head such that a test pattern is recorded on a first area of a first surface of a recording medium and is recorded on a second area of a second surface of the medium; a test pattern reading section which reads the test patterns recorded on the first area and the second area respectively from the second surface and the first surface; a determining section which determines allowable recording densities for the first surface and the second surface; and an image recording controller which controls the head such that, in a two-sided recording, the images are recorded on the first and second surfaces at respective densities equal to or lower than the allowable recording densities respectively for the first and second surfaces.
