Abstract:
1. A recording apparatus which records an image on a recording medium while rotating the recording medium, the recording apparatus comprising: a rotary driving unit which rotationally drives the recording medium; an ink-jet head for ejecting ink onto an image recording surface of the recording medium; and a control unit which switches between an image recording mode for ejecting the ink onto the image recording surface by the ink-jet head while rotating the recording medium by the rotary driving unit, and a drying mode for drying the ink ejected onto the image recording surface by rotating the recording medium for a predetermined period of time by the rotary driving unit after the image recording mode, wherein the control unit controls the rotary driving unit such that a rotation speed of the recording medium in the drying mode is different from a rotation speed of the recording medium in the image recording mode.
