To provide an ink jet recorder which can stably transfer a plurality of kinds of media including relatively unbending ones to be recorded.

Guide plates 7, 8, 9, 10, 43 and 13 form a first transfer route having a U shape seen from sideways and passing a lower part, one side face part and an upper part of the ink jet recorder 1. An ink supply means 47 is arranged in a space surrounded by the first transfer route. The first transfer route is made relatively long in an up-down direction, resulting in enabling a radius of curvature of curve routes 7a and 9b to be made relatively large. A transfer resistance applied at the transfer route to a recording paper 2 can be restricted to be small, and therefore even relatively unbending media to be recorded can be transferred stably and favorably.
