An image forming apparatus for forming an image in a predetermined image forming region by discharging ink droplets includes an image forming unit for forming an image in the predetermined image forming region, and a suction unit for sucking air including ink mist generated when forming the image by the image forming unit. The suction unit includes at least one suction port provided near the image forming region, and an exhaust path formed below said suction port. The exhaust path includes a slope inclined in a direction crossing a direction of flow of the air including the ink mist sucked into the exhaust path, and an ink collecting portion provided on the slope. According to this configuration, the apparatus collects ink mist generated during recording.
