IMAGE RECORDING DEVICE, AND IMAGE RECORDING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce an insufficient region in surface modification processing to a recording medium in a technology of recording an image by ejecting a liquid onto a halted recording medium while intermittently conveying the recording medium.SOLUTION: An image recording device includes: a recording head for recording an image by ejecting a liquid onto a recording medium halted on a supporting member; a surface modifying machine for performing surface modification processing for modifying a surface of the recording medium at a processing position on an upstream of the supporting member in a conveyance path upon reception of a processing performing signal; a conveyance unit for intermittently conveying the recording medium to the supporting member and causing the recording medium to intermittently pass through the processing position at predetermined passing speed by sending out the recording medium to the processing position; and a control unit for applying the processing performing signal to the surface modifying machine during a period of passage from the time the recording medium begins to pass through the processing position at the passing speed to the time it stops. The control unit applies the processing performing signal to the surface modifying machine for a predetermined period of time out of a waiting period from the time the recording medium stops passing through the processing position to the time it resumes passing through the processing position at the passing speed.
