PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inkjet recording device that is superior in both a cleaning property and a preservative property of a liquid repellent film, in recording using an ink composition containing inorganic pigments.SOLUTION: An inkjet recording device comprises: a plurality of nozzles for discharging an ink composition containing inorganic pigments; a recording head 22 that has nozzle forming faces with discharge ports of the plurality of nozzles and liquid repellent films provided on the nozzle forming faces; an absorbing member that absorbs the ink composition containing inorganic pigments adhered to the discharge ports of the nozzles and the nozzle forming faces; and a drive mechanism having a pressing member that relatively presses the absorbing member containing impregnating solution and the nozzle forming faces. The drive mechanism relatively moves at least either one of the absorbing member and the recording head to the other so as to perform cleaning for removing the ink composition adhered to the nozzle forming faces using the absorbing member. A surface tension of the impregnating solution is 45 mN/m or less. |
