Abstract
A inkjet recording apparatus includes a first inkjet head which ejects color ink having one of a hydrophobic property and an aqueous property; a second inkjet head which ejects colorless ink having the remaining the other property; and an ejection controller which controls the first inkjet head to eject the color ink on an image region and controls the second inkjet head to eject the colorless ink on an ejection region contacting the image region with a boundary therebetween. The ejection controller controls the first and second inkjet heads so that the colorless ink ejected from the second inkjet head reaches a second minute segment in the ejection region, the second minute segment adjacent to a first minute segment in the image region with the boundary interposed therebetween, before the color ink ejected from the first inkjet head reaches the first minute segment in the image region.
