Abstract
There is provided an inkjet recording apparatus including: a plurality of ink ejectors each having a nozzle array in which two or more nozzles each of which ejects ink are one-dimensionally arranged; a support member to which the plurality of ink ejectors are attached at positions different from one another in a predetermined arrangement direction in a state where the nozzle array is oriented in the arrangement direction; and a support member deformer that deforms the support member in a direction in which a deflection of the support member is reduced.

An inkjet recording apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of ink ejectors each having a nozzle array in which two or more nozzles each of which ejects ink are one-dimensionally arranged;
- a support member to which the plurality of ink ejectors are attached at positions different from one another in a predetermined arrangement direction in a state where the nozzle array is oriented in the arrangement direction;
- and
- a support member deformer that deforms the support member in a direction in which a deflection of the support member is reduced,
- wherein the support member deformer has
- a beam member extending across a range overlapping with at least part of an extending range of the support member in the arrangement direction, and provided so as to be able to fix its distance from the support member at a plurality of positions different in the arrangement direction, and
- an adjustment member that adjusts the distance between the beam member and the support member at at least one of the plurality of positions such that the support member is deformed in the direction in which the deflection of the support member is reduced.
