An inkjet recording apparatus, comprising:
- a curable ink comprising a polymer having a polyester structural unit;
- and
- a discharge head including:
- an individual liquid chamber including a circulation channel in which the curable ink is circulatable;
- and
- a nozzle from which the curable ink is dischargeable,
- wherein:
- the circulation channel includes a fluid resistance part that separates a circulation liquid chamber from a circulation common liquid chamber;
- the circulation channel includes a nozzle channel through which the curable ink circulates in a direction parallel to a flow of the curable ink through the nozzle;
- the nozzle channel is adjacent to the circulation liquid chamber through which the curable ink circulates in a direction perpendicular to the flow of the curable ink through the nozzle;
- and
- the nozzle is located at a boundary of the nozzle channel and the circulation liquid chamber.
