Abstract:
1. An image recording device for recording an image by an interlace system of paths number N in which an image is recorded by repeatedly scanning N times using an ink-jet head having multiple ink discharge nozzles arranged in column in a sub-scanning direction, wherein, assuming that a is an integer of 3 or more and b is an integer of 2 or more, or an integer mutually prime to a, and when a region defined by b×a including b pieces of pixels in a main scanning direction and a pieces of pixels in the sub-scanning direction is recorded a×b=N times, and assuming that an interval of the nozzles is W, a movement distance of the ink-jet head in the sub-scanning direction every one time main scanning is set to W×(j+c/a), and wherein a distance between a recording position by a n-th path and a recording position by a (n+1)th path in the main scanning direction corresponds to d pieces of pixels, where j is an integer of 1 or more, c is an integer of 1 or more and smaller than a and further is an integer of 1 or mutually prime to a, and d is an integer of 1 or mutually prime to b.
