An ink-jet recording apparatus includes: a conveyance unit; a support part including ribs; a recording head; a carriage carrying the recording head; a detecting unit configured to detect a position of the sheet conveyed; and a controller. In a case that the sheet supported by the support part is in a position in which the sheet is nipped by the conveyance unit, the controller is configured to shift nozzles, from which ink droplets are jetted to a center area of an upper surface of the support part in the width direction, to an upstream or a downstream in the conveyance direction by a predetermined number relative to nozzles from which ink droplets are jetted to outer areas positioned outside the center area in the width direction.

A first curved path 29 of a recording device includes a first guide surface 56 that guides a recording medium passed from a first feed path 27 and a first transport surface 57 that extends in a transport direction Dc from a downstream end of the first guide surface 56. The first guide surface 56 forms an acute angle with respect to a first extension line Le1 of the first transport surface 57. A second curved path 32 of the recording device includes a second guide surface 58 that guides the recording medium passed from a inversion path 31 and a second transport surface 59 that extends in the transport direction Dc from a downstream end of the second guide surface 58. The second guide surface 58 forms an acute angle with respect to a second extension line Le2 of the second transport surface 59.

A printing apparatus includes: a container which accommodates a print medium; a conveyor which has a first conveying route and which conveys the print medium from the container in a conveying direction along the first conveying route; a printing unit which prints an image on the print medium conveyed in the first conveying route; and a dividing unit which performs a dividing processing with respect to the print medium conveyed in the first conveying route. The conveyor is provided with a second conveying route which is branched from the first conveying route at a branching part and in which the print medium having the image printed thereon by the printing unit is conveyed, the printing unit and the dividing unit are positioned above the container; and the dividing unit and the branching part are positioned on an upstream side in the conveying direction with respect to the printing unit.
