Abstract
A liquid ejecting apparatus including a liquid ejecting unit that ejects a liquid onto a medium, a transporting mechanism that transports the medium, a member having concave portions, which is arranged downstream of the liquid ejecting unit in a transporting direction of the medium, an introducing mechanism that introduces the medium to the concave portions, the transporting mechanism having rollers that come into contact with the medium at a plurality of contact positions in a direction that intersects the transporting direction, and the concave portions being arranged at positions that correspond to a position between neighboring ones of the contact positions in the transporting direction. By giving the liquid ejecting apparatus such a structure, wrinkles that occur in a liquid ejection region can be suppressed.
Claims6
A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising:
- a liquid ejecting unit that ejects a liquid onto a medium,
- a transporting mechanism that transports the medium,
- a member having concave portions, wherein the member is arranged downstream of the liquid ejecting unit in a transporting direction of the medium,
- an introducing mechanism that introduces the medium to the concave portions,
- wherein the transporting mechanism includes rollers that come into contact with the medium at a plurality of contact positions in a direction that intersects the transporting direction, and
- the concave portions of the member are arranged at positions that correspond to positions between neighboring ones of the contact positions in the direction intersecting the transporting direction,
- wherein the member is arranged such that the medium is pressed against the concave portions by the introducing mechanism.
