Abstract

An inkjet recording apparatus conducts image recording by ejecting ink and a reactive liquid that reacts with the ink onto a recording medium conveyed by an endless conveyor component. The inkjet recording apparatus includes: a dummy ejection controller that dummy-ejects one of the ink and the reactive liquid onto a first position on the endless conveyor component and dummy-ejects the other of the reactive liquid and the ink onto a second position on the endless conveyor component where the one of the ink and the reactive liquid is not adherent; and a cleaning device that cleans the ink and the reactive liquid on the endless conveyor component.
