A test pattern is printed for ascertaining ejection characteristics of nozzles arranged in a recording head in an inkjet recording apparatus which forms and records a desired image on a recording medium by performing ejection of droplets of liquid from the nozzles and deposition of the droplets onto the recording medium. Ejection of droplets of the liquid from the recording head is performed by applying, to the recording head, a drive signal having a test waveform in which at least one of a voltage, a frequency and a waveform shape is altered with respect to a drive signal having a recording waveform which is applied to the recording head when the desired image is formed, to thereby perform the ejection with an increased ejection force compared with a case where the drive signal having the recording waveform is applied; and the test pattern is formed by the ejected droplets.
