An image-forming apparatus, using a printing head for ejecting ink drops on a sheet member, includes a conveying unit for conveying the sheet member, a cutting member for cutting the sheet member, and a carriage member having the printing head and the cutting member mounted thereon and scanning in a direction that intersects the direction of conveying the sheet member by the conveying unit. Dust generated by cutting the sheet member is prevented from scattering by cutting a cutting site with the cutting member after printing a predetermined pattern along the cutting site of the sheet member with the printing head.
