Waste ink absorber, pre-ejected ink receiving device and ink-jet recording apparatus

摘要

In a pre-ejected ink receiving device including a waste ink absorber for receiving ink dropped from a pre-ejection as waste ink, since ink mist flows are not controlled properly, the conventional ink-jet recording apparatus has a big problem of contamination, caused by flown up ink mist from a pre-eject port and flown out ink mist from a gap between the pre-eject port and the waste ink absorber, which is accumulated in the recording apparatus by repeated recording operations. A waste ink absorber with rough density to which an ink droplet ejected by the pre-ejection directly collides, solves the above-mentioned problem.
