Droplet ejection apparatus

A droplet ejection apparatus, comprising:

• a droplet ejection bead that ejects a droplet onto a recording medium;
• an irradiation part that is disposed at a downstream side, in a conveyance direction of the recording medium, of the droplet ejection head, and irradiates the recording medium with infrared laser light for evaporating a water content of a droplet landed on the recording medium;
• a supply part that is disposed at an upstream side, in the conveyance direction of the recording medium, of the irradiation part and at the downstream side, in the conveyance direction of the recording medium, of the droplet ejection head, includes a rectifying part disposed along the conveyance direction of the recording medium, and causes the rectifying part to supply, above the recording medium, air toward the downstream side in the conveyance direction of the recording medium;
• and
• a vent part that is disposed at the downstream side, in the conveyance direction of the recording medium, of the irradiation part, and vents at least a part of air flown above the recording medium toward the downstream side in the conveyance direction of the recording medium.
