PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a decrease in rotor speed when a rotor passes between adjacent transfer bodies, in a constitution in which a plurality of transfer bodies are supported.SOLUTION: A recording apparatus comprises a transfer drum that supports and rotates a plurality of transfer bodies subjected to discharge of ink from a recording head and formation of an image, and a rotor that can be brought into pressure contact with the plurality of transfer bodies to apply a process liquid thereto. The recording apparatus comprises a recess that is formed lower than surfaces of the plurality of transfer bodies between the adjacent transfer bodies, and drive means for making the rotor follow rotation of the transfer drum in the state of bringing the rotor into pressure contact with the transfer bodies and drive-rotating the rotor in the state of making the rotor face the recess.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 13 【課題】複数の転写体が支持される構成において、隣接する転写体間を回転体が通過する際に回転体の速度低下を低減すること。【解決手段】記録ヘッドからインクを吐出されて画像が形成される複数の転写体を支持して回転する転写ドラムと、前記複数の転写体に圧接して処理液を塗布可能な回転体と、を備える記録装置であって、隣接する前記転写体の間に、前記複数の転写体の表面より低く形成された凹部と、前記回転体が前記転写体に圧接している状態では前記回転体を前記転写ドラムの回転に従動させ、前記回転体が前記凹部と対向している状態では前記回転体を駆動回転させる駆動手段と、を備える。【選択図】図１３
