Inkjet recording method and apparatus

An apparatus for recording an image on a recording medium through an ink-jetting process, comprising:

• an ink-heating section to heat an ink, containing at least photo-polymerizing compound and coloring material, to an temperature in a range of 40-150° C.;
• an ink-jetting head having an ink channel, which accommodates said ink and includes electromechanical converting elements, a volume of said ink channel being expanded and shrunken by applying a first electronic pulse to said electromechanical converting elements for generating a negative pressure in said ink channel and by successively applying a second electronic pulse to them for generating a positive pressure in it, to emit an ink particle from a nozzle of said ink channel onto said recording medium so as to form said image thereon;
• and
• an ultraviolet light irradiating section to irradiate ultraviolet light onto said recording medium for fixing said image thereon;
• wherein, at a time after said ink particle is emitted by applying a first driving pulse, being a combination of said first electronic pulse and said second electronic pulse, to said ink channel and before an ink meniscus, formed at said nozzle, grows to an original stable state, a next ink particle is emitted by applying a second driving pulse, being a next combination of said first electronic pulse and said second electronic pulse.
