<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem of causing an ejection failure because light reflected by a recording medium surface directly reaches a nozzle part to cure ink at the nozzle part when an ultraviolet irradiation part is close to the nozzle part. Ž<P>SOLUTION: This image forming apparatus includes a recording head 4 having a nozzle 3 ejecting ultraviolet cured ink 2 cured by absorbing ultraviolet rays, to a recording medium 1, and a curing means 5 irradiating drop-like ink 2 reaching the recording medium 1, with ultraviolet rays to cure the ink 2. The curing means 5 includes an ultraviolet light source 11 emitting ultraviolet light, and a polarizing element 13 polarizing ultraviolet light from the ultraviolet light source 11 and emitting the polarized ultraviolet light 12.
