HEAD UNIT AND LIQUID DISCHARGE APPARATUS INCLUDING SAME
A head unit includes a plurality of heads; and a head mount on which the plurality of heads is arrayed. The head mount includes a position adjuster to adjust a position of each of the plurality of heads, each of the plurality of heads includes cutouts at both ends of each of the plurality of heads in a head alignment direction, the cutouts of adjacent heads are opposed each other, and the position adjuster is disposed between the opposed cutouts of the adjacent heads.
Ink-jet printer
A head holder has an opening through which a space between the head holder and a conveyer communicates with an inside of the head holder. A head cooler includes a blower configured to blow air into the head holder from an outside of the head holder with a flow rate of blow air and a suction unit configured to suction air from the head holder with a flow rate of suction air. The head cooler generates cooling air for cooling an ink-jet head inside the head holder by the blower and the suction unit. A controller controls the flow rate of blow air and the flow rate of suction air such that air containing ink mist is suctioned into the head holder through the opening.
