An image recording device comprises a recording unit configured to eject ink onto a sheet of recording medium, a platen disposed opposite to the recording unit and configured to support the sheet, a pair of upstream rollers disposed upstream of the recording unit and the platen in a sheet conveying direction and configured to convey the sheet in the sheet conveying direction when rotating in a forward direction, and a controller. When the sheet is supported on the platen and pinched between the pair of upstream rollers, the controller causes the recording unit to eject the ink onto a particular portion of the sheet. The controller selectively rotates the pair of upstream rollers in a reverse direction to convey the sheet in a direction opposite the sheet conveying direction, and subsequently stops rotating the pair of upstream rollers in a reverse direction, such that the pair of upstream rollers pinch the sheet for a particular amount of time and hold the sheet in a predetermined shape during the particular amount of time to restrict deformation of the particular portion of the sheet.
