ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an image recording apparatus comprising an image recording unit which records an image by ejecting ink drops with respect to an recording medium, a conveyance unit conveys the recording medium at the time of image recording by the conveying driving means, a recording medium feeding unit which feeds the recording medium to the conveyance unit, and a particulate dust preventing unit which has a partitioning member partitioning space in the image recording apparatus into an image recording region GR at which image recording is carried out by the image recording unit, and a paper feeding region FR at which the recording medium is fed by the recording medium feeding unit, and which can carry out image recording in high image quality and with high reliability, without deteriorating the conveying ability for a recording medium.
