<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inkjet recording apparatus that can supply the optimum amount of a treatment liquid to a recording medium used for image formation. <P>SOLUTION: The inkjet recording apparatus includes a supply unit which supplies a treatment liquid to a recording medium fed from a container and a recording unit which supplies ink to the recording medium with the treatment liquid supplied thereto and forms an image. In the inkjet recording apparatus, the treatment liquid with a first amount per unit area is supplied from the supply unit to a first region of the recording medium, and the treatment liquid with a second amount different from the first amount per unit area is supplied from the supply unit to a second region of the recording medium. The ink with the same amount per unit area is supplied from the recording unit to the first and second regions with the treatment liquid supplied thereto. States of the recording medium and the ink in the first and second regions with the ink supplied thereto are detected, and the supply of the treatment liquid to be supplied to the recording medium is regulated based on the detected states of the recording medium and the ink. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
