<p>The present invention significantly reduces fabric tension fluctuations to prevent a printing misalignment. A tension fluctuation alleviating device is preferably used in a fabric printing apparatus, and includes: a fabric supplying device configured to supply a long fabric; a printing mechanism configured to perform printing on the fabric supplied from the fabric supplying device; a guide device provided between the fabric supplying device and the printing mechanism configured to guide the fabric toward the printing mechanism, and a fabric take-up device configured to take up the fabric printed by the printing mechanism; and the fabric printing apparatus configured to intermittently send the fabric to the printing mechanism to perform printing on the fabric. The tension fluctuation alleviating device includes a support member located between the fabric supplying device and the guide device extending across a width direction of the fabric; and a tension relieving member including an elastically deformable elastic portion supported by the support member extending from the support member toward the fabric, and a contacting portion being positioned closer to the fabric than the elastic portion making contact with the fabric.</p> |
