Image recording device

An image recording device, comprising:

• a recording head which discharges an ultraviolet-ray curable ink, which is cured as irradiated with ultraviolet rays;
• an ultraviolet light source which generates ultraviolet rays to cure the ultraviolet-ray curable ink;
• a first heating section which heats the ultraviolet-ray curable ink on a recording medium after an irradiation of the ultraviolet rays;
• a second heating section which heats the recording medium before a heating process of the first heating section;
• a third heating section which heats the recording medium after a heating process of the first heating section;
• a pressure section which pressurizes the recording medium after an irradiation of the ultraviolet rays;
• and
• a controller which controls the first heating section to start heating the ultraviolet-ray curable ink on the recording medium after the last discharge of the ink to an arbitrary area on the recording medium, a first predetermined time between the last discharge and the starting heat is predetermined, and controls the first heating section to heat the ultraviolet-ray curable ink within a second predetermined time in a range between 0.1 and 10 seconds.
