Abstract
A liquid discharge apparatus includes a liquid discharge head, an irradiator, a carriage, and a conveyance controller. The liquid discharge head discharges liquid to a recording medium to form a liquid application surface. The irradiator emits active energy rays toward the liquid application surface. The carriage is mounted with the liquid discharge head and the irradiator. The conveyance controller conveys the carriage. The irradiator includes a first irradiator that is provided on one side surface of the carriage in a direction in which the carriage is conveyed and a second irradiator that is provided on another side surface of the carriage in the direction in which the carriage is conveyed. A position of the first irradiator and a position of the second irradiator in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the carriage is conveyed, on irradiation of the active energy rays, are different from each other.
