ABSTRACT:
An inkjet recording apparatus which utilizes a recording head including a plurality of nozzles arrayed on the head. The present invention complements a point where an image is to be formed by a defective nozzle utilizing other nozzles while preventing the uneven use of nozzles provided in a recording head. Recording is performed utilizing recording heads which have a plurality of nozzles arrayed in a predetermined direction for discharging ink droplets of the same color. If a defective nozzle exists in the recording heads, complement recording is performed utilizing nozzles of the same recording head or other recording heads. As for the nozzles to be employed for the complement, a plurality of complement nozzles among the nozzles located adjacent to the defective nozzle is utilized. By discharging ink droplets from the complement nozzles, a point where an image is to be formed by the defective nozzle is complemented.
