Abstract: The transporting device includes a linear guide member disposed at a position facing to inkjet line heads and a drying device, moving a pallet on which a sheet is attracted by magnetic force, and a belt driving device supporting both sides of the pallet by an endless belt and driving the pallet by circumferential movement of the belt. An ink is ejected from the inkjet line heads to the sheet on the pallet transported by the linear guide member, and a recording surface of the sheet is dried by the drying device. Subsequently, the pallet from which the sheet is separated is moved back to an upstream side of the inkjet line heads passing through a lower side of the linear guide member in the vertical direction by circumferential movement of the belt.

Abstract: The present invention provides an image-recording material support having high surface smoothness and excellent gloss, a method for producing the same and an image-recording material using the image-recording material support. To this end, the present invention provides a image-recording material support which has a raw paper and a polymer coating layer on both surfaces of the raw paper, wherein the raw paper has a value of tensile energy absorption (TEA) in the CD direction/basis weight of 1,000 mJ/g to 2,100 mJ/g and is subjected to a soft calender treatment such that a surface of the raw paper on which an image is to be recorded makes contact with a roller having a surface temperature of 200° C. to 350° C.
