Abstract
An inkjet recording apparatus having: a recording head including a pressure generation section, a pressure chamber, and a nozzle; and a drive signal generator which generates the drive signal including a first expansion pulse, a contraction pulse, and a second expansion pulse, wherein the pulses are generated to satisfy that: a peak value position Pof positive pressure is not more than 1.45AL from a drive signal applying start time, and |M/P|≧0.45, where AL represents a half of the acoustic resonance period of the pressure chamber, Mis a first peak value of negative pressure in the pressure chamber, Pis a peak value of a positive pressure succeeding to M, and Mis a peak value of a negative pressure succeeding to P, wherein M, Pand Mare values of a pressure wave generated by total effect of all the pulses.
