1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
a first head that discharges first light-curable ink; a light radiating unit that is positioned at one side from the first head in a predetermined direction and cures the first light-curable ink by radiating light to the first light-curable ink; a second head that is positioned at the one side from the light radiating unit in the predetermined direction and discharges second light-curable ink; a light guiding unit that guides the light from light radiating unit to a surface of a medium that receives the first and second light-curable ink, the light guiding unit having a first end adjacent a light emitting surface of the light radiating unit and a second end that is positioned between the first and second heads; and a control unit that causes an image to be formed on the medium by controlling the first head and the second head while moving the position of the medium relative to the first head, the light radiating unit, and the second head to the one side in the predetermined direction, wherein the length between the first head and the second head in the predetermined direction with the light radiating unit being between the first and second heads is less than the length of the light radiating unit in the predetermined direction, wherein the light radiating surface of the light radiating unit and the first end of the light guiding unit are located farther from the medium in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the medium than the first and second heads. |
