Inkjet recording apparatus

An inkjet recording apparatus, comprising:

• a recording head, driven by each drive phase of a three-phase current, having a set of nozzle rows of three nozzle rows In which a plurality of nozzles are disposed in a staggered arrangement with an interval of L/3 in a main scanning direction where L denotes a pixel pitch;
• and
• a control device to drive each nozzle row of the recording head in a sequence from a nozzle row provided at an end to a nozzle row provided in front relative to a moving direction of the recording head with respect to a recording medium, and to move the recording head at a moving speed of 2×L×f in the main scanning direction, wherein f represents an ejection frequency for each nozzle row of the recording head,
• wherein when one scan by the recording head in the main scanning direction is completed, the control device moves the recording medium with respect to the recoding head in a sub-scanning direction which is perpendicular to the main scanning direction by a distance of a predetermined multiple of the pixel pitch, and in a subsequent scan in the main scanning direction, the control device controls the recording head so that ink is ejected from each nozzle to a pixel position other than a pixel position where the ink has landed in the preceding scan by the recording head on the recording medium so as to record an image on the recording medium by landing the ink on each pixel on the recording medium.
