Abstract:
1. An ink-jet recording device comprising: an ink-jet head that ejects an ink droplet toward a recording medium, the ink droplet curable by irradiating with an actinic energy ray to form an image on the recording medium; and a mist adsorbing portion that is disposed in the vicinity of the ink-jet head and that electrostatically adsorbs an ink mist that is produced when the ink droplet is ejected from the ink-jet head, and is attached to an area different from an area of the image on the recording medium if not adsorbed by the mist adsorbing portion, wherein the mist adsorbing portion has one of an acute needle-like electrode and a blade-like electrode, and wherein the acute needle-like electrode has a curvature radius of 100 μm or less.
