A printing apparatus includes a transport unit 30 that transports a medium M in a transport direction F, a printing unit that prints on a printing surface M1 of the medium M, and a removal unit 60 that is provided on an upstream side in the transport direction F with respect to the transport unit 30 and is provided so as to come into contact with the printing surface M1.

Disclosed is a recording apparatus including a frame, a recording head that is disposed in the frame, and performs recording by ejecting a liquid onto a recording medium, a stay that is disposed with the frame, and supports a liquid accommodation body, which accommodates a liquid to be ejected from the recording head, outside the frame, an ink supply tube that supplies a liquid that is accommodated in the liquid accommodation body, which is supported by the stay, to the recording head, and a frame cover that is detachable from the frame.

An ink-jet head protection device used in a building area having accumulated powder is provided. The ink-jet head protection device includes a movable base and an airflow guiding mechanism. The movable base includes an ink-jet head base. The ink-jet head base includes one or more ink-jet heads. The ink-jet head is arranged corresponding to the building area. The airflow guiding mechanism is assembled to the movable base. The airflow guiding mechanism generates a dust separating airflow and includes an airflow opening for guiding the dust separating airflow flowing between the ink-jet head and the building area. The dust separating airflow is used to isolate the powder spilled from the building area. Accordingly, the airflow guiding mechanism generates the dust separating airflow flowing between the ink-jet head and the building area.

A liquid ejection head unit is formed by arranging a plurality of recording element substrates in a first direction. The recording element substrate has an ejection orifice from which a liquid is ejected. The liquid ejection head unit includes: rail portions extending in the first direction and a protective member which is detachably fitted on the rail portions. The protective member is movable along the rail portions between a first position and a second position. The first position allows the protective member to cover whole surfaces of the plurality of recording element substrates. The second position allows the plurality of recording element substrates to be exposed so as to allow a liquid to be ejected from the ejection orifice.

A liquid ejection head unit includes an ejection port surface on which an ejection port is provided, includes a page-wide type liquid ejection head detachably attached to a liquid ejecting apparatus and a protective member detachably attached to the liquid ejection head, the liquid ejection head includes a first rail portion, the protective member includes a second rail portion along a longitudinal direction thereof, the protective member is made to slide to a first direction along the longitudinal direction of the liquid ejection head and covers the ejection port surface, the protective member is attached to the liquid ejection head and then, the liquid ejection head and the protective member are moved in a second direction opposite to the first direction and are removed from the liquid ejecting apparatus.

A printing apparatus includes: a conveyance unit configured to convey a printing medium in a conveyance direction; a first printing head configured to eject a first liquid onto the printing medium conveyed by the conveyance unit in a state where a distance between a first ejection surface where ejection ports are formed and the printing medium corresponds to a first distance; and a plurality of second printing heads each configured to eject a second liquid, which reacts upon coming into contact with the first liquid, onto the printing medium conveyed by the conveyance unit in a state where a distance between a second ejection surface where ejection ports are formed and the printing medium corresponds to a second distance smaller than the first distance, wherein the first printing head is provided upstream of the plurality of second printing heads in the conveyance direction.
