Abstract

An ink jet recording apparatus including: an image forming unit that forms a first image containing a first liquid and a coloring material on a transfer body; and a liquid absorbing device including a liquid absorbing member having a porous body coming in contact with the first image to at least partially absorb the first liquid from the first image, and a cleaning member coming in contact with the porous body to clean the porous body wherein surface free energy Y1 of the transfer body, surface free energy Y2 of the porous body, surface free energy Y3 of the cleaning member, and a dispersion force component Yd of surface free energy of the first image satisfy the following Equation (1): |Yd,−Y3|<|Yd,−Y1|<|Yd,−Y2|  (1).
