Abstract
An ink jet recording apparatus minimizing adhesion of ink mist to a recording medium due to electrostatic attraction of a belt conveying the recording medium. The apparatus includes a liquid applying device applying a processing liquid to a position on the recording medium corresponding to an attracting-force generating device provided on the conveying belt. The apparatus discharges the processing liquid to the position before the ink is discharged on the recording medium. Since moisture of the processing liquid reduces surface charges of the recording medium, the amount of ink mist adhering to the recording medium can be reduced.
