Abstract
An inkjet recording apparatus stabilizes an ink discharge amount of a line head, while suppressing an ink supply amount of a circulation route, thereby performing high quality image recording. The inkjet recording apparatus includes a first flow path configured to supply ink from an ink tank to a first discharge port group, a second flow path configured to supply ink from the ink tank to a second discharge port group, and a control unit configured to control an ink supply amount of at least one of the first flow path and the second flow path according to the passing position of a recording medium with respect to the line head.
