Abstract
An inkjet recording includes a conveyance path that conveys a recording medium, a recording head, at least one humidity measuring part, and at least one humidifying air supplying part. The recording head discharges ink onto the recording medium conveyed along the conveyance path. At least one humidity measuring part measures humidity in the vicinity of the recording head. At least one humidifying air supplying part supplies humidifying air to the conveyance path. When the humidity measured by the humidity measuring part is equal to or less than a predetermined humidity threshold value, inkjet recording apparatus supplies the humidified air by the humidified air supplying part.
Claims5
An inkjet recording apparatus comprising:
- a conveyance path that conveys a recording medium;
- a recording head that discharges ink onto the recording medium conveyed along the conveyance path;
- at least one humidity measuring part that measures humidity in the vicinity of the recording head;
- and
- at least one humidifying air supplying part that supplies humidifying air to the conveyance path,
- wherein when the humidity measured by the humidity measuring part is equal to or less than a humidity threshold value, that is set so that a generation amount of ultrafine particles caused by the ink is less than a predetermined standard value, supplying the humidified air by the humidified air supplying part.
