An ink jet recording apparatus includes a conveyance mechanism, a recording mechanism and a control unit. The conveyance mechanism has a roller in contact with a recording surface of a sheet and conveys the sheet in a first direction. The recording mechanism records an image on a recording surface using a recording head on which a plurality of nozzles are formed over a range covering a width of a sheet to be used along a second direction crossing the first direction. The control unit, which controls the conveyance and recording mechanisms, performs an image record operation and a preliminary discharge operation onto the recording surface. |
