Liquid discharge system

A liquid discharge system comprising:

• a first head including a first nozzle, from which a liquid is to be discharged, on a first nozzle face oriented in a first direction;
• a second head including a second nozzle, from which a liquid is to be discharged, on a second nozzle face oriented in a second direction different from the first direction;
• a head holder holding the first head and the second head;
• a first sealer to contact and seal the first nozzle face;
• a second sealer to contact and seal the second nozzle face;
• a first cleaner to clean the first nozzle face in a state where the first sealer has contacted and sealed the first nozzle face;
• a second cleaner to clean the second nozzle face in a state where the second sealer has contacted and sealed the second nozzle face;
• a first mover to relatively move the first nozzle face and the first sealer;
• a second mover to relatively move the second nozzle face and the second sealer;
• and
• processing circuitry, wherein:
• the first nozzle face has a first area;
• the second nozzle face has a second area smaller than the first area;
• and
• the processing circuitry is configured to:
• control the first sealer to press against the first nozzle face with a first force,
• control the second sealer to press against the second nozzle face with a second force smaller than the first force, and
• control the second sealer to start contacting and sealing the second nozzle face after the first sealer has contacted and sealed the first nozzle face.
