ABSTRACT:
A recording apparatus includes a recording unit having a nozzle line comprising a plurality of nozzles arranged along a sub-scan direction for recording a band having a record width corresponding to a length of the nozzle line onto a recording medium in accordance with an input image signal by discharging ink from the nozzles along a main scan direction orthogonal to the sub-scan direction, a transport unit for intermittently transporting the recording medium in the sub-scan direction, and a control unit for controlling the drive of the recording unit and the transport unit. The control unit sets a transport distance of the recording medium by the transport unit to a distance smaller than the record width when the image to be recorded on the recording medium comprises a plurality of bands. Each of the bands has at least one end having an image pattern complement to an image pattern at an end of adjacent band along the sub-scan direction. The length of the end in the sub-scan direction is equal to a difference between the record width and the transport distance.
