An image recording apparatus includes: an image recording portion; a treatment-liquid ejecting portion; a conveying mechanism having a support face; an adsorption mechanism including first and second electrodes arranged so as to be spaced from each other and so as to face a recording medium supported on the support face with the support face interposed between the recording medium and the first and second electrodes; and a controller which controls the treatment-liquid ejecting portion to eject treatment liquid onto at least a part of a first area of the recording medium before the image recording. The first area is an area near a leading end of the recording medium, and wherein the first area is overlaid, as seen in a direction perpendicular to the support face, on an area interposed between the first and second electrodes.
