Image recording method having increased recording element output or increased recording element spot size

摘要

A recording method and a recorder for making it possible to eliminate a slight gap occurring every revolution of a drum (rotation gap) and a slight gap occurring for each column of a two-dimensional spot arrangement (column-to-column gap), enabling high-quality image recording with no defects. In the recording method, wherein a plurality of recording elements are arranged in two dimensions consisting of rows in a main scanning direction and columns in a subscanning direction orthogonal to the main scanning direction and are used to record image information or text information on a record medium, the setup value of output energy of either of the recording elements at the ends of the recording elements in the subscanning direction, the length of the spot recorded by the recording element in the subscanning direction or the main scanning direction, or the area is made larger than that of any other recording element and recording is executed.
