One of the first and second liquids causes coagulation or precipitation of a component of the other liquid. The conveyor includes: a first conveying portion; a second conveying portion disposed downstream of the first conveying portion; and a third conveying portion disposed upstream of the first conveying portion. The second applicator is disposed between the first and second conveying portions. The second conveying portion and the third conveying portion constitute a plurality of upstream-side conveying portions. A distance between adjacent two of the upstream-side conveying portions is larger than a distance between the first and second conveying portions.
