Abstract
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes: a supporting member that supports a target; a liquid ejecting head that ejects liquid to a liquid ejecting surface of the target supported by the supporting member; an air blowing device that blows air to the liquid ejecting surface of the target supported by the supporting member; and a guide member that has an opposed surface which is closely opposed to the liquid ejecting surface of the target supported by the supporting member and forms a gap for passing the air, which is blown by the air blowing device as laminar flow along the liquid ejecting surface, between the opposed surface and the liquid ejecting surface.
