Abstract
An image recording method comprises the steps of: acquiring first recording characteristic information of recording elements of a recording head by reading a first test pattern formed with ejecting ink droplet from the recording elements; obtaining first density unevenness correction information based on the first recording characteristic information; acquiring second recording characteristic information of the recording element by reading a second test pattern different from the first test pattern formed with ejecting ink droplet from the recording elements; obtaining second density unevenness correction information based on the second recording characteristic information; correcting image data based on the first and second density unevenness correction information to calculate density unevenness-corrected image data; and calculating an ejection pattern of the recording element based on the unevenness-corrected image data.
