An object of the present invention is to provide an image recording apparatus which is compact, has good image recording efficiency, consumes less power, and can record a good image on a recording medium made of a heat-shrinkable material. In an image recording apparatus for recording an image by irradiating a recording medium with ultraviolet rays by an ultraviolet irradiation apparatus to cure an ink and record an image, an ultraviolet light source has an emission wavelength peak in a range of 305 to 375 nm. The light-emitting diode emits ultraviolet light whose illuminance on the surface of the recording medium is in the range of 40 to 1000 mW / cm 2 . [Selection diagram] Fig. 1 |
