Abstract
A liquid discharge recording apparatus includes: a first liquid containing 2-pyrrolidone; a liquid discharge head configured to discharge the first liquid; a second liquid containing a solvent of which freezing point is less than 20 degrees Celsius and of which specific gravity is less than 1.12 g/cm3; and an absorber which contains the second liquid and which is configured to absorb the first liquid exited from the liquid discharge head.
Claims20
A liquid discharge recording apparatus comprising:
- a first liquid containing 2-pyrrolidone;
- a liquid discharge head configured to discharge the first liquid;
- a second liquid containing a solvent of which freezing point is less than 20 degrees Celsius and of which specific gravity is less than 1.12 g/cm3;
- and
- an absorber which contains the second liquid and which is configured to absorb the first liquid exited from the liquid discharge head.
A liquid-recovery method for recovering a liquid in a liquid discharge recording apparatus, the method comprising:
- causing a first liquid containing 2-pyrrolidone to exit from a liquid discharge head of the liquid discharge recording apparatus;
- and
- recovering the first liquid by absorbing the first liquid exited from the liquid discharge head with an absorber which is provided in the liquid discharge recording apparatus and which contains a second liquid, wherein the second liquid contains a solvent of which freezing point is less than 20 degrees Celsius and of which specific gravity is less than 1.12 g/cm3.
