A liquid ejecting device on which a waste liquid storage unit is mounted includes an ejecting unit that ejects a liquid, a maintenance unit and a collecting unit. The maintenance unit includes a receiving unit and a wiping unit that wipes a nozzle surface in which a nozzle is open, by moving together with the receiving unit in one direction. The receiving unit includes a receiver including a receiving tank that receives the liquid discharged from the nozzle, and a receiving gutter in which a discharging hole for dropping the liquid received by the receiving tank onto the collecting unit is open.

The collecting unit includes a discharging gutter that directs the liquid dropped through the discharging hole to the waste liquid storage unit, and the discharging gutter extends in the one direction and overlaps with at least a part of the receiver as viewed in a vertical direction.

An inkjet recording apparatus includes at least one head respectively ejecting liquid and a container including a container main body including an opening receiving the liquid ejected from the at least one head and a partition partitioning the container main body into a plurality of independent regions. The partition includes at least one first portion partitioning the container main body in a first direction and at least one second portion partitioning the container main body in a second direction intersecting the first direction.

A liquid ejecting device includes an ejecting unit including a nozzle surface where a nozzle opens, a cap unit that performs capping, a wiper unit that performs wiping, and a cleaning unit that is attached to the ejecting unit, and performs cleaning on the wiper unit, wherein the wiper unit includes a wiping section that moves in one direction, the wiping section includes a wiper that comes into contact with the nozzle surface, the cleaning unit includes a cleaner that performs the cleaning on the wiper, the cap unit comes into contact with the ejecting unit by the ejecting unit approaching the cap unit in a perpendicular direction of the nozzle surface, a position of the cleaner in the perpendicular direction overlaps a position of the wiper in the perpendicular direction during the capping, and does not overlap the position of the wiper in the perpendicular direction during the wiping.

A liquid ejection apparatus includes a wiper carriage 59, and a pressurizing mechanism 60 disposed in a liquid supply path 73 via which a liquid from the liquid storage portion 101 is supplied to an ejection head 20H. The wiper carriage 59 has a wiper 58, which is an example of a maintenance portion. The pressurizing mechanism 60 includes a liquid storage chamber 63 that forms a portion of the liquid supply path 73 and a diaphragm 62, which is an example of a deforming member configured to be deformed to change the volume of the liquid storage chamber 63. The wiper carriage 59 causes the liquid in a nozzle 20N of the ejection head 20H communicating with the liquid storage chamber 63 to flow in a discharge direction by pressing the diaphragm 62 at the pressurized position to pressurize the liquid storage chamber 63.

A recording apparatus includes a liquid ejection head including a plurality of nozzles that eject a liquid onto a medium, and a facing portion disposed to face the liquid ejection head, the liquid ejection head includes a plurality of head chips including the nozzles, in a plate member facing the facing portion, and a cutout portion is formed in a peripheral edge of the plate member to avoid the head chips, and a contact member configured to come into contact with the medium is disposed in the cutout portion.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a printing apparatus that satisfactorily sucks and recovers a printhead is provided. A printing apparatus that includes a transfer member, and the first and second printheads has the following arrangement. The apparatus includes the first and second suction units which suck a plurality of nozzles of the first and second printheads, a common negative-pressure generation unit which generates a negative-pressure for suction by these suction units, and a moving unit which moves these suction units from one end to the other end of each printhead. Then, the moving unit moves the first and second suction units so as to pass through concave gaps with respect to ink discharge surfaces of the first and second printheads corresponding to the first and second suction units at different timings.

An inkjet printing apparatus according to an embodiment of this invention can properly control the temperature of a transfer member and print a high-quality image. Therefore, an inkjet printing apparatus that forms an image by discharging ink from a printhead to a transfer member and transfers the image from the transfer member to a print medium performs control as follows. The transfer member after the image is transferred to the print medium is cooled down, the temperature of the cooled down transfer member is measured, and based on the measured temperature, a cooling capability in cooling down is controlled.

An apparatus for cleaning surfaces of a printing press has an adjusting device having a pressing element for pressing a cleaning element against the surface to be cleaned when needed. The adjusting device has a drive for moving the pressing element relative to the surface to be cleaned between a home position, in which the cleaning element is positioned at a distance from the surface to be cleaned, and a cleaning position in which the cleaning element is in contact with the surface to be cleaned or, respectively, is in the direct proximity of the surface to be cleaned. An overload safety device is configured to respond upon a critical force acting on at least one of the adjusting device or pressing element being exceeded and to move the pressing element into an overload position.

A liquid ejection device includes a liquid ejection unit having a first nozzle group configured to eject a first liquid to a cloth conveyed, and a second nozzle group configured to eject a second liquid to the cloth, and a wiping unit configured to wipe a nozzle surface on which the first nozzle group is disposed, wherein the first liquid is aqueous ink and the second liquid is a liquid including a softening agent, and the second nozzle group executes a softening treatment of ejecting the second liquid to the cloth, and a water repellent treatment of making the second liquid adhere to the nozzle surface.

The present disclosure relates to cleaning a surface in a printing device, wherein a guiding member directs a stream of cleaning fluid towards the surface; and at least one barrier unit to confine the stream of cleaning fluid to a portion of the surface, wherein the at least one barrier unit guides air to provide at least one air curtain confining said stream of cleaning fluid to the portion of the surface.
