Abstract
An ink jet recording apparatus which has at least one ink jet recording head to perform recording on a recording medium held on a rotary drum by discharging liquid ink from discharging nozzles, comprises a receptor, arranged on the rotary drum at a position which does not overlap with a position at which a recording medium is placed, for receiving ink droplets discharged by the ink jet recording head not for recording.
Claims9
An ink jet recording apparatus for use with at least one ink let recording head for performing recording by discharging ink from discharging nozzles onto a position on a rotary drum for holding a recording medium, said apparatus comprising:
- a receptor, disposed on said rotary drum at a position which does not overlap with the position for holding the recording medium, for receiving ink discharged by said ink jet recording head;
- and
- removing means for contacting said receptor to remove at least a part of the ink received by said receptor, wherein said removing means includes an absorbing member.
An ink jet recording apparatus for use with at least one ink let recording head for performing recording by discharging ink from discharging nozzles onto a position on a rotary drum for holding a recording medium, said apparatus comprising:
- a receptor, disposed on said rotary drum at a position which does not overlap with the position for holding the recording medium, for receiving ink discharged by said ink jet recording head;
- and
- removing means for contacting said receptor to remove at least a part of the ink received by said receptor, wherein said removing means includes a blade.
A waste ink treatment apparatus for an ink jet recording apparatus, the ink jet recording apparatus having at least one ink jet recording head for performing recording by discharging ink from discharging nozzles onto a position on a rotary drum for holding a recording medium, said waste ink treatment apparatus comprising:
- a receptor, disposed on said rotary drum at a position which does not overlap with the position for holding the recording medium, for receiving ink discharged by the ink jet recording head;
- and
- removing means for contacting said receptor to remove at least a part of the ink received by said receptor, wherein said removing means includes an absorbing member.
A waste ink treatment apparatus for an ink jet recording apparatus, the ink jet recording apparatus having at least one ink jet recording head for performing recording by discharging ink from discharging nozzles onto a position on a rotary drum for holding a recording medium, said waste ink treatment apparatus comprising:
- a receptor, disposed on said rotary drum at a position which does not overlap with the position for holding the recording medium, for receiving ink discharged by the ink jet recording head;
- and
- removing means for contacting said receptor to remove at least a part of the ink received by said receptor, wherein said removing means includes a blade.
