Abstract
A printing apparatus includes a printing section that performs printing by adhering an ink to a medium, a transport section that transports the medium, and a heating device that heats the medium, on which printing is finished. The heating device includes a first partitioning wall that has an infrared ray emission surface that faces a third support member via a heating region, and a heating section which heats the first partitioning wall, and an area of the infrared ray emission surface is greater than a projection area obtained by projecting the infrared ray emission surface toward the third support member.
Claims5
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a printing section that performs printing by adhering an ink to a medium;
- a transport section that transports the medium along a transport path of the medium;
- and
- a heating device that heats the medium, on which printing is finished,
- wherein, when a region between the transport path and the heating device is set as a heating region,
- the heating device includes an infrared ray emission section which has an infrared ray emission surface that faces the transport path via the heating region, and a heating section which heats the infrared ray emission section, and
- an area of the infrared ray emission surface is greater than a projection area obtained by projecting the infrared ray emission surface toward the transport path.
