Abstract
An image recording apparatus causes the repeated alternating execution of an ejection operation, in which light-curable ink is ejected from a head while the head and a light irradiation unit are moved in a predetermined direction by a movement mechanism, and a transport operation, in which a medium is moved relative to the head and the light irradiation unit in a direction that is orthogonal to the predetermined direction; and reduces the irradiation intensity of the light irradiation unit during acceleration/deceleration periods, when the movement mechanism moves the head and the light irradiation unit at a velocity that is lower than a predetermined velocity, to a lower irradiation intensity than the irradiation intensity of the light irradiation unit during a constant velocity period, when the movement mechanism moves the head and the light irradiation unit at the predetermined velocity.
