An inkjet recording apparatus including: a recording head movable in a main scanning direction, and including: an ink passage; a nozzle communicated with the passage; and an actuator applying energy to ink in the passage to eject a droplet thereof from the nozzle; a control device outputting a drive waveform signal, while the head is moved in the direction, to drive the actuator, the control device including: a storing portion storing plural kinds of the signals different from one another in the number of the ejected droplets for one dot; and an outputting portion including: a determining portion making at least one of the following determinations, for each particular one of dots printed in series at least in the direction: whether there is a dot printed immediately before the particular dot, and whether there is a dot printed immediately after the particular dot; and a selecting portion selecting one of the kinds of the signals, based on a result of the determination made by the determining portion, and outputting the selected kind of the signal to the actuator; and the selecting portion selecting (i) a first one of the kinds of the signals, when a result of the determination is affirmative, and (ii) a second one of the kinds of the signals, when the result of the determination is negative, the first kind and second king respectively being for ejecting a first number and a second number of the droplet or droplets for the particular dot, the second number being smaller than the first number.
