An inkjet recording apparatus includes a heater and a recording head. The heater is disposed upstream of the recording head in terms of a conveyance direction of a recording medium. The recording medium heated by the heater has a temperature of from 40 to 80° C. The ink contains a pigment, a cellulose derivative, first and second water-soluble organic solvents, and water. The first water-soluble organic solvent is glycol ether. The second water-soluble organic solvent is a water-soluble organic solvent that is not glycol ether. The cellulose derivative has a percentage content of from 0.01 to 0.20% by mass relative to the mass of the ink. The percentage content of the glycol ether is from 6 to 24% by mass relative to the mass of the ink and from 20 to 80% by mass relative to the total mass of the first water-soluble organic solvent and the second water-soluble organic solvent.
