Printing jig and printing apparatus to hold substrates of different sizes

A printing apparatus comprising:

• a support table extending in a front-rear direction and a right-left direction;
• a recording head disposed above the support table;
• and
• a slider to which a printing jig is fitted and supporting the printing jig such that the printing jig is movable in the front-rear direction above the support table;
• wherein
• the printing jig comprises:
• bases to be fitted to a printing apparatus;
• a first holder configured able to hold one or more first substrates and fittable to each of the bases;
• and
• a second holder able to hold one or more second substrates different in size from the first substrate or substrates and fittable to each of the bases;
• the first holder includes a first fitting portion to be fitted to each of the bases;
• the second holder includes a second fitting portion to be fitted to each of the bases;
• each of the bases is structured such that the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion are both fittable thereto;
• and
• the slider supports the bases such that each of the bases is movable at least between a first position and a second position, the first position being a position of each of the bases during printing, the second position being located forward of the first position.
