Abstract
The inkjet recording apparatus has: an ink droplet ejection device which ejects a droplet of an ink containing a coloring material; a treatment liquid deposition device which deposits a treatment liquid that causes the coloring material contained in the ink to aggregate so as to create a coloring material aggregate; and an absorbing body which absorbs a solvent of a mixed liquid including the ink ejected as the droplet by the ink droplet ejection device and the treatment liquid deposited by the treatment liquid deposition device, wherein solvent absorption holes having an opening diameter larger than a spreading width of the coloring material aggregate in the mixed liquid on a surface of a recording body are formed in a surface of the absorbing body.
