A recording apparatus of the present invention includes: a droplet ejection head including an inflow passage, a common fluid passage, and a plurality of individual fluid passages each extending to an ejection opening; a supply mechanism capable of forcedly supplying a fluid to the inflow passage; a wiper made of an elastic material; and a moving mechanism which moves the wiper. The fluid forcedly supplied to the inflow passage and discharged from each ejection opening does not drop from the ejection face, and at least a predetermined amount of the fluid discharged from each ejection opening is retained on the ejection face when the wiper traverses the relevant ejection opening. |
