<p>A liquid ejection apparatus, including: a liquid ejection head (10) having an ejection face (10a) that has at least one ejection opening (14a) through which the liquid ejection head ejects liquid for forming an image on a recording medium, an ejection space being defined so as to face the ejection face; a sealing mechanism (50; 500) configured to selectively establish one of (i) a sealing state in which the sealing mechanism seals the ejection space from an outside space and (ii) an open state in which the sealing mechanism does not seal the ejection space from the outside space; an air introduction opening (31) configured to open in an area that faces the ejection space when the sealing mechanism is in the sealing state; a humid air supplier (60) configured to supply a humid air from the air introduction opening to the ejection space in the sealing state; a cleaner (70; 70, 9; 40) configured to clean the liquid contacting at least a part of an area of the liquid ejection head and the sealing mechanism, the area facing the ejection space; and a controller (100) configured to control the cleaner to clean the liquid before the supply of the humid air supplier.</p> |
