Abstract

A disk recording device includes a disk rotation mechanism, a pick-up device, a print head, and an air flow guide portion. The disk rotation mechanism rotates a removably mounted disk-shaped recording medium. The pick-up device is disposed such that it faces a recording surface of the disk-shaped recording medium, and it at least one of records information to and plays back information from the disk-shaped recording medium. The print head is movably disposed on a printing surface side of the disk-shaped recording medium and has an ink discharge portion that discharges ink droplets in the direction of the printing surface of the rotating disk-shaped recording medium. The air flow guide portion is provided around the disk-shaped recording medium, and it guides an air flow that is generated by the rotating of the disk-shaped recording medium by the disk rotation mechanism.
