An inkjet recording apparatus includes: an inkjet head having nozzles which eject ink onto a recording medium, the ink being curable by irradiation of an active light beam; a relative movement device recording medium; an active light beam irradiation device having an active light beam emission unit that emits the active light beam and is divided into units in a direction of the relative movement for irradiating the ink deposited on the recording medium with the active light beam while relative movement between the recording medium and the active light beam irradiation device is caused along with the inkjet head; and an active light beam irradiation control device which controls on or off switching with respect to each of the divided units.
