PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image recording apparatus of an ink jet recording system capable of obtaining a high-quality image without impairing wiping property even when a recording liquid containing a component such as a resin that thickens the recording liquid is used. SOLUTION: Steps (α and β in the figure) within a range of 3 mm from the nozzle of the recording head in the nozzle surface direction are −1.0 mm or more from the nozzle surface when the direction in which the recording liquid is discharged is positive. +0.5 mm or less, and the recording liquid to be mounted contains any component of a water-soluble or water-dispersible polymer, monomer, or oligomer that thickens the recording liquid when dried. Alternatively, the mounted recording liquid may contain fine particles separately from the color material. [Selection] Figure 2 |
