Patent attributes
An inkjet recording apparatus includes a recording head having a nozzle row aligned with a plurality of nozzles and a carrying mechanism capable of carrying a record medium by a multiple of an arbitrary natural number of a unit carry amount in a direction in parallel with the nozzle row. The record medium is carried by any of quasi logical carry amounts including a natural number larger than a logical carry amount determined based on a recording resolution and a number of nozzles and represented as a multiple of the unit carry amount and a natural number smaller than the logical carry amount. The record medium is recorded at each time of carrying the record medium. A carry amount of the record medium is determined such that a difference between the logical carry amount and an actual carry amount of the record medium does not exceed a predetermined value.
