PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for applying an ink image to a receiving material, and further to provide an apparatus comprising a control improved in an application process of the ink image on the receiving material in order to reduce a distortion, that is, at least a problem in conventional apparatuses. SOLUTION: The apparatus applies the ink image to the receiving material adapted to be advanced in an advancing direction. The apparatus includes an ink applying means for applying the ink image to a strip of the receiving material, a carrier means for maintaining the strip in a predetermined position with respect to the ink applying means, a vacuum means for sucking air through holes from a space between a carrier plate and the strip of the receiving material lying on the carrier plate, and a correcting means for correcting local variations in a distance between the receiving material and the ink applying means.
