<p>Provided is an ink-jet recording apparatus of a photo-setting type, in which the entire light quantity distribution of an irradiation device having a plurality of light sources is optimized by a simple device constitution. The ink-jet recording apparatus (1) comprises a recording head (7) having a nozzle array formed to array a plurality of nozzles (8) for discharging and impacting photo-setting ink on a recording medium, in a straight line shape, such that the recording head and the recording medium scan each other relatively, and an irradiation device (9) arranged on the downstream side of the recording medium in the scanning direction relative to the recording head (7), for irradiating the ink having impacted the recording medium with a light thereby to set the ink. The irradiation device (9) includes a plurality of UV-LEDs (10), of which the UV-LEDs (10) arrayed in a direction perpendicular to the nozzle array direction are electrically connected in series, to constitute LED blocks (11), and a control unit (12) electrically connected with the individual LED blocks (11), for controlling the individual optical outputs of the LED blocks (11).</p> |
