Abstract
An ink jet recording apparatus includes an image forming unit that forms a first image containing a first liquid and a coloring material on an ink receiving medium, a liquid absorbing member that has a porous body coming in contact with the first image and absorbing at least a part of the first liquid from the first image, and a liquid collecting device that collects the first liquid absorbed in the porous body. The porous body has a first surface that is a side contacting the first image, and a second surface opposing the first surface. An average pore size of the second surface of the porous body is larger than an average pore size of the first surface. In addition, the liquid collecting device includes a gas ejection member that ejects gas to the second surface of the porous body to extrude the first liquid from the second surface.
