Patent ID: 7419256

Claim:
An image recording apparatus, comprising: a recording head which discharges a photo curable ink, which is cured by photo irradiation; a first light irradiating device and a second light irradiating device which irradiate the photo irradiation to the photo curable ink on a recording medium, and each of which includes a light source; a detector which detects an illumination intensity of each light irradiating device; a judgment section which judges whether a difference between a first illumination intensity of the first light irradiating device and a second illumination intensity of the second light irradiating device is more than a predetermined value based on a result of detection by the detector or not; and a controller which controls at least one of the first light irradiating device and the second light irradiating device so that the first illumination intensity and the second illumination intensity are substantially or exactly same as each other, when the judgment section judges the difference is more than the predetermined value.
