Abstract
An inkjet recording apparatus includes an ink jetter; a transfer unit that has an intermediate transfer body and transfers ink on its transfer surface to a recording medium to record an image; a thickening device that thickens the ink landed on the transfer surface before transfer to the recording medium; a cleaner that removes residual ink remaining on the transfer surface; and a hardware processor. The cleaner has a first ink remover that removes the thickened residual ink in first ink removing operation in which an adhesive member brought into contact with the thickened ink is separated from the transfer surface. If the transfer surface has a region occupied by the thickened ink of a predetermined reference area or more, the hardware processor causes the first ink remover to perform the first ink removing operation.
