The disclosed invention is directed to an inkjet
recording apparatus. The conventional inkjet recording
apparatus typically suffers from inferior recording quality
due to bleeding and/or flowing of the ink, which often results
in contamination of the recording apparatus. The present
invention overcomes this problem by providing a heating
element in each of the passages for heating the recording ink
and the coating material. Other aspects of the invention
include making the inkjet recording head with an integer
multiple number of orifices of the coating head, and providing
a gas supply device which supplies the gas to the coating
material supply device to supply the coating material onto the
recording medium as a fine mist. Further understanding of the
invention can be had by the following claims.

inkjet recording means for discharging recording ink according
to a recording signal and for recording on a recording medium,
the inkjet recording means comprising at least one first
