Abstract

Provided are an inkjet recording device and an inkjet recording method that enable more reliable recording of an image at a desired position of a recording medium. The inkjet recording device is provided with: a recording means that discharges ink onto a recording medium; a conveying means that performs a conveying operation in which the recording medium is placed at a predetermined placement position upon a conveying member and the conveying member is caused to move in a revolving manner; a recording control means that causes the recording means to perform a recording operation in which an image is recorded onto the recording medium, which moves as a result of the conveying operation, by discharging ink thereto in accordance with image data; and a position-correspondence-information acquiring means that acquires position correspondence information corresponding to the position of the conveying member. The recording control means causes the recording means to start the recording operation when the position of the conveying member corresponding to the position correspondence information acquired by the position-correspondence-information acquiring means matches a recording-operation start position set in advance.
