Abstract
An inkjet recording apparatus includes a drying device for drying a sheet by blowing air. The drying device includes a first duct with a suction opening for sucking air outside, a second duct with a blowing hole through which the air sucked from the suction opening is blown toward the sheet, a heater for heating air inside of the second duct; and a first fan for sending the air from the suction opening to the blowing hole. The suction opening is provided on a front side of the inkjet recording apparatus with respect to the second duct. The first duct forms a first flow passage of air flowing on the front side with respect to the second duct, and a second flow passage of air flowing downstream of the first flow passage in a flowing direction from the suction opening to the blowing hole and above the second duct.
