Inkjet recording apparatus

An inkjet recording apparatus comprising:

• an image forming section configured to form an image on a sheet;
• a first roller configured to convey the sheet;
• a first heat source configured to heat the first roller;
• a calculator configured to calculate an ink ejection amount of ink to be ejected toward the sheet;
• a determination section configured to determine whether or not to activate the first heat source based on a calculation result of the calculator;
• and
• a controller configured to control the first heat source and the image forming section based on a determination result of the determination section, wherein
• the determination section determines to activate the first heat source when the ink ejection amount calculated by the calculator is larger than a specific reference amount,
• when the determination section determines to activate the first heat source, the controller activates the first heat source, and
• when temperature of the first roller is equal to or higher than a specific temperature, the controller controls the image forming section to form the image on the sheet.
