Abstract
An ink jet recording apparatus includes an image forming unit, a drying device, a heating device to heat a recording medium, and a guide member having a downstream end portion. The image forming unit discharges ink to form an image on the recording medium. The drying device dries the recording medium on which the ink has been discharged. The heating device includes a heating rotary member and a pressing rotary member to form a nip portion to transmit heat and pressure at the nip portion to the recording medium being conveyed on a conveyance path. The guide member is located between the nip portion and the drying device on the conveyance path and the downstream end portion of the guide member is disposed on a heating rotary member side with respect to a tangent line of the pressing rotary member drawn from a center of the nip portion.
