Abstract
An ink-jet recording device capable of recording an image with no conspicuous joint line between bands each being formed by multiple horizontal scanning. A band having a width corresponding to a predetermined amount M of movement is formed by (n+1)-times record scanning. The ink-jet recording device has a controller which allows a second group of nozzles to perform recording at the time of the (n+l)+lth horizontal scanning and beyond where the relations L=Mx(n+l)+a and M>a are satisfied, where L is a row length of all the nozzles of a recording head and α is a low length of a second group of nozzles and allocate recording data to each of the nozzles so that the border in the region recorded by the horizontal scanning on the upstream side of the relative vertical scanning direction may be formed within the width of the band formed by the first to (n+l)-th horizontal scanning.
