An inkjet recording device includes an image forming drum, a recording medium supplying section, a recording head which ejects ink onto a recording medium, a first heating unit which heats the recording medium held on the drum before image recording, a second heating unit which heats the drum downstream of the position at which the recording medium is outputted after image recording and upstream of the supplying section, a heating-unit temperature detector, a drum temperature detector, and a heating control section. The heating control section performs heat control of the first heating unit such that the temperature detected by the heating-unit temperature detector falls within a predetermined set temperature range, and performs heat control of the second heating unit such that the temperature detected by the drum temperature detector falls within a predetermined set temperature range.

Inkjet recording device

An ink-jet printer comprises: a recording head to eject ink through a nozzle; a conveying element located so as to face the recording head and conveying a recording medium onto which an image is recorded employing the recording head; and a recording medium expansion and contraction-preventing means provided at a contacting portion where the conveying element contacts the recording medium.
