IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS AND IMAGE RECORDING SYSTEM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image recording apparatus capable of keeping the quality of an image without generating a streak on the image in a repeated image recording. SOLUTION: The image recording apparatus 5 is equipped with an image processing apparatus 7 equipped with a receiving controlling means 70 receiving image information, an image information storing means 79 storing the image information, an arithmetic processing means 74 arithmetically processing the image information and converting it to data, a data storing means 80 storing the data, and an output processing means 75 outputting the data, and an inkjet printer 6. The arithmetic processing means 74 performs an arithmetic processing including an error diffusion processing of the image information corresponding to a specified image with the image information corresponding to the whole or a part of an image to be positioned around the specified image, and only the data to be recordable corresponding to the specified image can be stored in the data storing means 80 when the image corresponding to the image information is to be repeatedly recorded in the main scanning direction and in the sub-scanning direction of the inkjet printer 6.
