Abstract
An inkjet recording apparatus includes: a control device that controls feeding of the conveyance belt so that a recording medium is conveyed at a pitch of a prescribed feeding amount in a feeding direction, and establishes an origin on the recording medium based on a detection of a starting point arranged on the conveyance belt, and controls driving of the inkjet head so that test dots of an amount equivalent to one round of the conveyance belt are printed on the recording medium at the pitch, from the origin; and a correction device that corrects the feeding amount of the conveyance belt to a corrected feeding amount corresponding to a feeding position of the conveyance belt based on the measurement results for an inputted printing space, wherein the control device causes an ink droplet to jet to the recording medium according to the corrected feeding amount.
