Abstract
An image recording apparatus is provided which records an image by scanning, relatively to a recording medium, a line-type recording head unit in a direction substantially perpendicular to a predetermined direction, wherein the line-type recording head unit includes a plurality of recording heads which are disposed in a direction substantially the same as the predetermined direction and which have recording width that partially overlap each other and wherein each of the recording heads has a plurality of recording elements disposed in a direction substantially the same as the predetermined direction. The image recording apparatus includes a correction data generator for producing correction data for correcting characteristics of respective recording elements at two-dimensional positions on the recording medium, and an adjustment unit for adjusting an input image signal inputted to the recording elements at the two-dimensional positions, based on the correction data.
