Abstract
An image recording apparatus includes a first print head that discharges a first liquid that is cured through irradiation of light from a nozzle towards the recording medium; a second print head that discharges a second liquid in which a content rate of a tri-functional or higher polyfunctional monomer is different from that of the first liquid and that is cured through irradiation of light from a nozzle towards the recording medium, and is provided at a different position in the transport direction from the first print head; and an irradiator that irradiates the recording medium with light, and is arranged between the print heads in the transport direction, in which the irradiator emits light having directionality in a direction receding in the transport direction from a print head that discharges a liquid with a higher content rate from the print heads.
