An image forming apparatus includes a carriage in which recording heads including nozzles for jetting liquid droplets are mounted; and a conveying unit configured to convey a recording medium facing the recording heads. The recording heads include a first recording head and a second recording head having a wider printing width than that of the first recording head. The conveying unit includes a guide member configured to guide the recording medium facing the recording heads. Recessed shape parts arranged in at least a medium conveying direction are formed in the guide member. The recording medium can be suctioned by generating negative pressure at the recessed shape parts. A partition wall part between the recessed shape parts is provided at a position corresponding to a downstream side edge in the medium conveying direction of the first recording head.
