There is provided an inkjet apparatus which can accurately detect an ink remaining amount and shorten time necessary for an ink remaining amount detecting process. This apparatus has a first reservoir unit that reserves ink, a second reservoir unit that reserve the ink supplied from the first reservoir unit to supply the ink to a head, a calculation unit that calculates an ink remaining amount in the second reservoir unit based upon an ink ejection amount ejected from the head, a remaining amount detecting unit that detects the ink remaining amount in the second reservoir unit, a foam processing unit that executes a foam process to reduce foams of the ink generated in the second reservoir unit, and a control unit that controls the execution of the foam process by the foam processing unit based upon comparison between the ink remaining amount calculated and the ink remaining amount detected.
An inkjet apparatus for printing using a head for ejecting ink, comprising:
