Printing apparatus

A printing apparatus provided with a functional liquid ejecting section which performs printing by ejecting a functional liquid onto a printing medium and a mist processing device which processes a functional liquid mist which is generated together with an ejection of the functional liquid, the printing apparatus comprising:

• a gas-liquid separation section which separates the functional liquid mist into a separated gas and a separated liquid using a centrifugal force generated by an airflow;
• an airflow generating section which is provided in an exhaust flow path which is joined to an exhaust side of the separated gas in the gas-liquid separation section and generates the airflow;
• and
• a liquid leakage detection section, which is provided beneath an exhaust port which is provided on a downstream end of the exhaust flow path, and is capable of detecting a liquid which is released from the exhaust port.
