Inkjet recording device

An inkjet recording device comprising:

• a print head that performs printing;
• a main body including a path for supplying ink in an ink container to the print head, a path for collecting the ink that is not used for printing, in the ink, a path for supplying a solvent in a solvent container to the ink container, and a regulating unit that regulates a flow of the ink and the solvent in each of the paths;
• a control unit that controls the main body and the print head;
• and
• a head mounting unit including a cleaning tank having a space in which the print head is containable, and an opening portion at a lower portion of the cleaning tank, and a collection container that collects a liquid flowing out from the opening portion,
• wherein a solvent vapor suction path connected to the cleaning tank to suction and discharge solvent vapor generated in the cleaning tank and a drive unit that discharges the solvent vapor are provided,
• wherein the solvent vapor suction path is connected to a main body side, and
• wherein the main body includes a solvent vapor exhaust path connected to the ink container, and a solvent vapor outlet portion of the solvent vapor suction path discharges the solvent vapor into the same space as an outlet portion of the solvent vapor exhaust path.
