Abstract
Provided is a recording apparatus capable of performing recording on a recording medium having a lenticular lens. The recording apparatus includes a mounting portion on which the recording medium is mounted, the mounting portion including a positioning structure that comes to be positioned between neighboring lens elements of the lenticular lens of the recording medium so as to be engaged with at least one of the lens elements, thereby positioning the recording medium with respect to the arrangement direction of the lens element; a distance information acquisition unit that acquires information on the distance between a reference edge, which serves as the reference of a recording position and is defined at the edge in the arrangement direction of the lens elements, and a predetermined reference position with respect to a target recording medium which is the recording medium which is mounted at a predetermined position of the mounting portion in a state of being positioned by the positioning structure, and on which recording is actually performed; a correction unit that corrects the recording position on the target recording medium based on the distance information obtained by the distance information acquisition unit; and a recording unit that performs recording on the recording medium based on the recording position corrected by the correction unit.
