Abstract
A recording head for a recording apparatus, which includes a plurality of recording elements, wherein the length or area of at least one dot in the recording elements at a particular position is varied with respect to the length or area of the dots of the remaining recording elements. Preferably, the length or area of the dot of at least one recording element positioned at the outermost end in the linear row of the plurality of recording elements is greater than the length or area of the dots of the remaining recording elements. By such variation in the length or the area of the dots, so-called 'whitening' in the recorded image is prevented.
