Liquid ejection apparatus

A liquid ejection apparatus comprising:

• a conveyor mechanism configured to convey a recording medium in a conveying direction;
• a plurality of liquid ejection heads each of which has an ejection face from which a liquid is ejected and which are arranged in the conveying direction;
• a support member opposed to at least one ejection face of the plurality of ejection faces and configured to support the recording medium;
• a first suction mechanism having a first suction opening located between two of the plurality of liquid ejection heads adjacent to each other in the conveying direction, the first suction mechanism being configured to suck air via the first suction opening;
• and
• at least one first contact member located between the two liquid ejection heads adjacent to each other in the conveying direction and configured to be contactable with a recording face of the recording medium at a position closer to the support member than the first suction opening in a perpendicular direction perpendicular to the at least one ejection face,
• wherein the at least one first contact member is at least one first rotary member configured to be contactable with the recording face of the recording medium at the position closer to the support member than the first suction opening in the perpendicular direction,
• wherein the at least one first rotary member is a plurality of first rotary members and at least one of the plurality of first rotary members is located on an upstream side of the first suction opening in the conveying direction, while at least another of the plurality of first rotary members is located on a downstream side of the first suction opening in the conveying direction, and
• wherein the conveyor mechanism includes a conveyor roller which is opposed to the at least one first rotary member located on the downstream side of the first suction opening in the conveying direction, and wherein the conveyor mechanism is configured to convey, in the conveying direction, the recording medium nipped between the at least one first rotary member and the conveyor roller.
