PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inkjet recording method which can surely detect dot blanks of a clear ink in the case of recording overlapping an image formation ink and the clear ink onto a recording medium, and to provide an inkjet recording device capable of surely reproducing images. SOLUTION: The inkjet recording method has a dot blank detection process in which the presence/absence of dot blanks of the clear ink is detected by measuring an image density of mixed dots of the overlapping image formation ink and clear ink. The inkjet recording device 5 is equipped with a dot image density measuring means capable of measuring an image density of mixed dots, a detecting means capable of detecting the presence/absence of dot blanks of the clear ink according to the image density of the mixed dots, a cleaning mechanism capable of cleaning a recording head 56, and a control means capable of selecting either one of "inkjet recording by the recording head 56" and "cleaning by the cleaning mechanism to the recording head 56" according to the detected result of the detecting means.
