ABSTRACT:
The inkjet head comprises: a nozzle which discharges droplets of ink through an ink discharge port to perform recording onto a recording medium, the ink being supplied through a supply duct, at least partial cross section of the nozzle on a side of the ink discharge port broadening toward the ink discharge port; and a device which moves a position of a boundary surface of the ink between a first boundary surface keeping position inside the nozzle at which the boundary surface of the ink is kept for recording and a second boundary surface keeping position inside the nozzle at which the boundary surface of the ink is kept for cleaning the nozzle under pressure less than or equal to ink discharging pressure, wherein fouling around the nozzle is collected by moving the position of the boundary surface of the ink between the first boundary surface keeping position and the second boundary surface keeping position.
