<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid ejection apparatus in which convection generated by a convection generation unit does not give an influence on an irradiation unit, ink can be heated and dried sufficiently, and bleeding can be suppressed from occurring. <P>SOLUTION: The liquid ejection apparatus includes: a head unit 150 which has a nozzle for ejecting liquid onto a recording medium S; a carriage 14 which holds the head unit 150 and makes the head unit 150 relatively scan the recording medium S; an infrared ray irradiation unit 160 which is provided at a vertically upper side of the carriage 14 in a scanning direction of the carriage 14 and irradiates the recording medium S with infrared rays; a convection generation unit 170 which is provided at a vertically upper side of the carriage in the scanning direction of the carriage and generates convection on the recording medium S; and a separation wall 20 which is provided between the infrared ray irradiation unit 160 and the convection generation unit 170. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
