ABSTRACT:
An inkjet recording apparatus and ink management method determine how much ink leaks when an ink cartridge is replaced, prompts the user to replace the ink sponge with another sponge of the necessary thickness and ink absorption capacity, and thus prevents ink leakage from soiling the cartridge holder. The amount of ink leakage is detected based on the time from when the ink cover8opens until the ink cartridge12is removed from the cartridge holder16,and manages the ink absorbed by the ink absorbing material20accordingly.
