An image recording apparatus comprises a plurality of drums for holding a recording medium on their perimeter faces and for being able to rotate the recording medium, and printing unit, which are arranged as opposed to the perimeter faces of the drums, for being able to make printing on the recording medium. A tension generating unit for applying a tension to the recording medium is arranged in the upstream and the downstream of the drums on the conveyance path of the recording medium. A drum in the downmost stream side of the conveyance path is used as a driving drum, and the other drums are used as driven drums.

What is claimed is: 1. An image recording apparatus comprising:a first drum which is rotatable, and which holds a continuous recording medium on a perimeter face thereof;a first printing unit, which is arranged to oppose the first drum, and which performs image recording on a first face of the recording medium;a second drum which is rotatable, and which holds the first face of the recording medium on a perimeter face thereof, wherein the second drum is provided downstream of the first drum with respect to a conveyance path of the recording medium;a second printing unit which is arranged to oppose the second drum, and which performs image recording on a second face of the recording medium;a driving source which drives the second drum to rotate so that the second drum acts as a driving drum which conveys the recording medium and the first drum acts as a driven drum which is rotated by conveyance of the recording medium; anda tension generating unit which attaches the recording medium to the first and second drums,wherein the tension generating unit is arranged on an upstream side of the first drum and a downstream side of the second drum in the conveyance path of the recording medium.
