An ink jet recording apparatus using ink to be discharged from a plurality of ink discharge ports of a recording head comprises a holding unit for holding the recording head for recording on a recording sheet; a conveyor for conveying the recording sheet; and a recording sheet supporting member arranged at the position to face the recording head. The recording sheet supporting member is provided with a supporting surface to support the non-recording surface of the recording sheet, and is arranged in a direction intersecting the conveying direction of the recording sheet. The recording sheet supporting member is provided with a first extrusion and a second extrusion extended in the conveying direction of the recording sheet, and having inclined surfaces that incline toward the recording sheet supporting member from the supporting surface toward the upstream side relative to the conveying direction, and angles of inclination are made different for the inclined surfaces of the first extrusion and the second extrusion. With the structure thus arranged, the recording apparatus is able to convey a recording sheet reliably without allowing it to contact the recording head, resulting in a better recording and sheet conveying condition.
