Abstract:
An image recording apparatus for recording an image in a photosensitive material of a size of a print, comprising:a recording head having a plurality of optical outputting portions, for an exposure of the photosensitive material, the photosensitive material being at least an N-th photosensitive material and an N+1-th photosensitive material, N being an integer, and the N+1-th photosensitive material being subsequent to the N-th photosensitive material; andan adjusting means for adjustment of an intensity of light irradiated from the recording head to the photosensitive material for the exposure;wherein the adjusting means includes: means for obtaining an interval exposure data differing from an exposure data used in an exposure of the N-th photosensitive material; and means for allowing the recording head to perform an interval exposure based on the interval exposure data, between the exposure of the N-th photosensitive material and an exposure of the N+1-th photosensitive material;wherein the interval exposure data is an inversion of a gradient of the exposure data used in the exposure of the N-th photosensitive material.
