Abstract
An ink jet recording apparatus can reduce waste ink produced in marginless printing caused by overflow from an ink absorber. To realize this, each time the marginless printing is executed, the volume of waste ink produced by the marginless printing is cumulatively added up in order to control a total volume of the waste ink. The waste ink volume to be added up is determined by at least the kind of print medium or the print mode.
