An ink-jet recording apparatus for making recording using an ink-jet recording head is capable of forming large dot and small dot. Number of times of discharge operation for forming large dots and number of times of discharge operation for forming small dots are separately counted, and a total ink discharge amount is calculated on the basis of these count values, which is compared with a predetermined value to perform appropriate suction processing. According to the invention, an ink suction operation from a discharge port is started with appropriate timing, thereby controlling dissipation of ink.
