An image recording device, comprises: 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 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.
