Abstract
With an ink-jet recording head comprising multiple nozzle rows, for discharging ink of different colors, arrayed in approximately a straight line in approximately the same direction as the transporting direction of a recording medium, the positioning spacing of the nozzle rows of each of the colors is set so as to be greater than the length of the nozzle rows for discharging ink of each of the colors. This prevents bleeding on the recording medium and mixing of colors on the recording head in cases of printing at high speeds with in-line type recording heads, in an arrangement with simple modifications.
