Abstract: A full-overlap type recording apparatus includes a recording unit and a controller. In the recording unit, n pieces of recording heads are disposed in a main scanning direction, positions of the n pieces of recording heads are shifted from each other in a sub-scanning direction, and the n pieces of recording heads are disposed so as to form m sets in the sub-scanning direction. The controller determines a use head based on the image data, and the use head is a recording head used for forming dots on a recording medium. The controller determines the use head for all raster lines formed on the recording medium, so as to respectively use the n pieces of recording heads when the raster lines are formed.

Abstract: A printer includes a recording unit, a glue belt, a feeding unit, a suction unit, and a duct unit. The recording unit performs recording on a medium. The glue belt includes a support face capable of supporting the medium. The feeding unit feeds air toward the support face. The suction unit sucks air flowing from the support face. Air discharged from the suction unit flows through the duct unit. The duct unit is provided with an opening portion that adjusts a pressure difference between a pressure inside the duct unit and a pressure outside the duct unit.

Abstract: There is provided a recording apparatus in which it is possible to use a suitable reaction liquid to be applied on the recording medium, out of multiple types of reaction liquids. A recording apparatus includes a transport mechanism that transports a recording medium, a reaction liquid applying mechanism that selectively applies, on the recording medium, either a first reaction liquid that reacts with ink or a second reaction liquid that reacts with the ink and is different from the first reaction liquid, and an ink discharge mechanism that is positioned downstream from the reaction liquid applying mechanism in the transport direction of the recording medium and discharges the ink onto the recording medium. It is preferable that the reaction liquid applying mechanism include a first reaction liquid discharge unit that discharges the first reaction liquid and a second reaction liquid discharge unit that discharges the second reaction liquid.
