An apparatus (1) includes a recording head (2) arranged so as to oppose a sheet (4) moving in a first direction, in which a plurality of first nozzle chips (120) and a plurality of second nozzle chips (120) each having a nozzle array (121) are arranged as different arrays in a second direction crossing the first direction, and in which the first nozzle chips (120) and the second nozzle chips (120) adjacent to each other are shifted from each other in the second direction, first suction means (11a) opposed to the first nozzle chips (120) and configured to suction ink from a part of the nozzle arrays (121) included in the first nozzle chips (120), second suction means (11b) opposed to the second nozzle chips (120) and configured to suction ink from a part of the nozzle arrays (121) included in the second nozzle chips (120), a suction holder (12) configured to retain the first suction means (11a) and the second suction means (11b), and a movement mechanism configured to cause relative movement between the recording head (2) and the suction holder (12) in the second direction, wherein the first suction means (11a) and the second suction means (11b) are shifted from each other in the second direction in correspondence with the shift between the first nozzle chips (120) and the second nozzle chips (120). |
