The purpose of the present invention is to provide an inkjet recording device that is capable of minimizing contamination, by floating ink, of the inside and outside of a print head without increasing the volatilization volume of a solvent. In order to attain the purpose, provided is an inkjet recording device having: a nozzle which applies print onto a printing medium by discharging ink; and a print head which houses therein a deflection electrode for deflecting the discharged ink by means of an electrostatic force, the inkjet recording device being provided with an ink suction unit which sucks in floating ink by means of the electrostatic force.

In order to make it possible to inform as apparatus handler through a simple, means of precautions to take in handling ink of the correct ID number when an inputted ink ID number is correct, this inkjet recording apparatus is provided with a print head having; a nozzle part, an ink container that houses ink supplied to the nozzle part, information reading unit for reading information that distinguishes the type of ink accompanying an ink supply container that supplies ink to the ink container, a determination unit for determining from the read information whether the ink housed in the ink supply container is the correct ink, a storage unit for storing ink-related information in correlation with the ink-type-distinguishing information, a stored-information extraction unit for extracting from the storage unit the ink-related information corresponding to the ink-type-distinguishing information read by the information reading unit when the ink is determined to be correct by the determination unit, and a display unit for displaying the ink-related information extracted toy the stored-information extraction unit on a screen.
