Abstract
An ink-jet recording apparatus includes a first electrification adjuster and a second electrification adjuster. The first electrification adjuster disposed to face the recording material to be conveyed supplies a charge with one polarity. The second electrification adjuster disposed downstream the first electrification adjuster in the conveying direction to face the recording material supplies the charge with opposite polarity to that of the charge supplied by the first electrification adjuster so that the ink-jet image is formed at the downstream side of the electrification adjuster.
