Abstract
There is disclosed an image-recording apparatus including a recoding head, a carriage which is reciprocatable along a main scanning direction, and carriage-driving mechanism for moving the carriage along the main scanning direction. The carriage-driving mechanism reciprocates the carriage so that a phase of a periodic speed fluctuation of the carriage during a forward movement deviates from the phase of the periodic speed fluctuation during a backward movement.
