A liquid-jet recording apparatus includes a liquid-jet recording head unit to jet ink droplets toward a recording medium for printing and including an opening area through which the ink droplets fly out from the liquid-jet recording head unit, and a conveyance unit to convey the recording medium to a fore side of the opening area. The liquid-jet recording head unit includes a multi-nozzle inkjet head, a separation unit, a gas-flow application unit, and a gutter unit. The multi-nozzle inkjet head includes multiple inkjet nozzles, pressurizes ink, and emits a plurality of continuous streams of an ink. The opening area has a slit shape extending along a direction in which the multiple inkjet nozzles are arrayed. An air flow generated in the opening area has a velocity vector directed inward from the opening area.
