Recording apparatus |
摘要 |
A recording apparatus that includes a condensation guide portion is provided. The recording apparatus includes a recording head that discharges ink onto a recording medium, a heater that dries the ink discharged on the recording medium by the recording head without making contact with the recording medium, a medium supporting portion provided with an opening portion which allows vapor that evaporates from the ink due to the heater to pass therethrough, and a condensation guide portion which causes the vapor that passes through the opening portion to condense and thereby prevent the recording medium from being wetted by the condensed vapor. |

1. A recording apparatus, comprising:
a recording head configured to discharge ink onto a recording medium; a heater configured to dry the ink discharged on the recording medium by the recording head without making contact with the recording medium; a medium supporting portion that includes an opening portion, wherein the opening portion allows vapor that evaporates from the ink due to the heater to pass therethrough; and a condensation guide portion that causes the vapor that passes through the opening portion to condense, wherein a thermal diffusivity of the condensation guide portion is greater than a thermal diffusivity of the medium supporting portion, wherein the medium supporting portion is made of a metal. |
