A liquid droplet jetting apparatus includes a liquid droplet jetting head which has a liquid droplet jetting surface provided with a plurality of nozzles opening thereon in order to jet liquid droplets of a liquid; a cap member which has a size to cover the openings of the nozzles of the liquid droplet jetting head and which is formed with a suction port; a moving mechanism which moves the cap member to make contact/separation with respect to the liquid droplet jetting surface; a purge mechanism which is connected to the suction port of the cap member and which performs purge to discharge the liquid from the nozzles in a state in which the cap member is brought in contact with the liquid droplet jetting surface; and a controller which controls the liquid droplet jetting head, the moving mechanism, and the purge mechanism. |
