Abstract
A recording apparatus includes an electromagnetic wave irradiating portion that radiates an electromagnetic wave and dries ink by using the electromagnetic wave; a first medium supporting portion that supports a recording medium in an irradiation area of the electromagnetic wave irradiating portion and has an opening portion through which vapor evaporated from ink ejected onto the recording medium by electromagnetic wave irradiation by the electromagnetic wave irradiating portion passes; and a second medium supporting portion that is provided adjacent to the first medium supporting portion and has a thermal conductivity lower than the first medium supporting portion.

A recording apparatus comprising:
- an electromagnetic wave irradiating portion that radiates an electromagnetic wave and dries ink by using the electromagnetic wave;
- a first medium supporting portion that supports a recording medium in an irradiation area of the electromagnetic wave irradiating portion and has an opening portion through which vapor evaporated from ink ejected onto the recording medium by electromagnetic wave irradiation by the electromagnetic wave irradiating portion passes;
- and
- a second medium supporting portion that is provided adjacent to the first medium supporting portion and has a thermal conductivity lower than the first medium supporting portion.
A recording apparatus comprising:
- a first medium supporting portion that supports a recording medium and has a ventilative opening portion in an electromagnetic wave irradiation area for drying ink;
- and
- a second medium supporting portion that is provided adjacent to the first medium supporting portion in the electromagnetic wave irradiation area,
- wherein the first medium supporting portion and the second medium supporting portion are configured so that condensation of vapor evaporated from the ink recorded on the recording medium by electromagnetic wave irradiation is decreased.
