Abstract
An ink jet recording apparatus in which a UV curable ink is ejected from nozzle holes of an ink jet head. The ejected ink is attached onto a recording surface of a recording medium (recording paper), and is cured by irradiation with ultraviolet light. The ink jet head, or a moving member which moves together with the ink jet head, is provided with a plurality of ultraviolet light emitting diodes that emit the ultraviolet light to the ink attached onto the recording surface of the recording medium to cure the ink.
