Patent attributes
The ink-jet recording apparatus includes: a conveyer that conveys a recording medium; a recording head that ejects an ink and a processing solution; an ejection controller that controls ejection of the ink and the processing solution from the recording head; and a double side printer that prints on both surfaces of the recording medium to forming an image on each surfaces. Respective ejection of the ink and the processing solution is controlled so that respective amounts of the ink and the processing solution applied per unit area is less under a double-sided printing mode than the respective amount of the ink and the processing solution applied per unit area under a single-sided printing mode, and so that a reduction ratio of the amount of the ink applied per unit area is larger than one of the processing solution per unit area.
