Patent ID: 8876238

Claim:
An image recording apparatus, comprising: a conveyor mechanism configured to convey a recording medium in a conveying direction; a first-liquid ejection head having a first ejection opening through which the first-liquid ejection head ejects first liquid for recording an image on the recording medium; a second-liquid ejection head having a second ejection opening through which the second-liquid ejection head ejects second liquid for coagulating or precipitating a constituent of the first liquid, the second-liquid ejection head being provided upstream of the first-liquid ejection head in the conveying direction; and a controller configured to perform a test-recording processing in which a first test pattern and a second test pattern are recorded on the recording medium by the first-liquid ejection head and the second-liquid ejection head respectively, wherein the controller is configured to control the first-liquid ejection head such that the first liquid ejected from the first ejection opening does not land on a position of the second test pattern in the test-recording processing.
