Patent attributes
An inkjet recording apparatus, includes: recording head having nozzles that jet ink onto recording medium, wherein ink is cured by irradiating active energy ray and/or applying thermal energy; ink curing device for curing ink jetted onto recording medium, having an active energy ray irradiating unit and/or thermal energy applying unit; and controller that performs image recording by repeating a recording process plural times to form a single band in which process the recording head jets ink and then the active energy ray irradiation and/or thermal energy application is performed. Herein the controller controls the active energy ray irradiating unit and/or thermal energy applying unit such as to change at least one of operating parameters being an active energy ray irradiation amount, active energy ray irradiation timing, and thermal energy application amount, at least a first time and a last time of the repeated times of the recording process.
