Inkjet recording device

Abstract

An inkjet recording device includes an image forming section that records an image by applying ink, a heating-drying processing section that dries ink droplets applied to the sheet P, a sensor that is provided on a downstream side of the image forming section in the conveying direction and detects an ambient temperature outside the heating-drying processing section in the device, and a control unit that controls the ambient temperature outside the heating-drying processing section in the device. In the case where the ambient temperature is in a target range, the control unit switches the inkjet recording device to a recording mode in which set temperature of the heating-drying processing section is used as a target value corresponding to the time of recording from a standby mode in which set temperature of the heating-drying processing section is used as a target value corresponding to the time of standby.
