Printing device

A printing device comprising:

• a print head that jets an ink from a plurality of nozzles disposed on a nozzle surface;
• a washing solution holding member that has a washing solution holding surface;
• a relative moving mechanism that relatively moves the print head and the washing solution holding member and that causes the washing solution holding surface and the nozzle surface to face each other;
• and
• a washing solution applying mechanism that applies a washing solution to the washing solution holding surface and that washes the nozzle surface facing the washing solution holding surface,
• wherein the nozzle surface has a nozzle region where the plurality of nozzles are disposed and that has liquid repellency and a non-nozzle region that has relatively lower liquid repellency than the liquid repellency of the nozzle region,
• in a case where a length of the nozzle surface in a first direction is defined as Lp, a length of the nozzle region in the first direction is defined as Ln, and a length of the washing solution holding surface in the first direction is defined as Lc, a relationship of Ln<Lc<Lp is satisfied, and
• the relative moving mechanism causes the washing solution holding surface and the nozzle surface to face each other in a state where the first direction is inclined with respect to a horizontal plane,
• wherein the washing solution holding member has an exterior side surface, at a lower side of the washing solution holding surface in a direction of gravity, continuous to the washing solution holding surface, and an angle formed by the side surface on a downward side in a vertical direction and the washing solution holding surface is an acute angle.
