<p>An ink jet recording apparatus comprises carrying means for carrying a recording medium; a head installation unit for installing a recording head to record on the recording medium by discharging ink from discharge ports, which reciprocates in the width direction intersecting the carrying direction of the recording medium; supporting means for supporting the recording medium in a position facing the recording head; and opening portions for collecting ink discharged from the recording head at the edges of the recording medium in the width direction. With the structure thus arranged, this ink jet recording apparatus is capable of recording up to the edges of a recording medium in high quality without staining the recording medium. <IMAGE></p> |
