Abstract
An inkjet recording apparatus includes, a conveyor that conveys a recording medium; an image former that forms an image on the recording medium; and a detector that detects a state of the recording medium. The image former includes, a first ejection head that ejects a first liquid onto the recording medium, and a second ejection head that ejects a second liquid onto the recording medium. The detector detects a state of the recording medium after the first liquid is ejected by the first ejection head and before the second liquid is ejected by the second ejection head.
