SOLUTION: Water or a cleaning liquid is injected from the hole 18 for marginless printing or a dedicated water injection hole 21 formed at the platen 10 on an as-needed basis so that the ink which tends to be solidified in the fluid channel is discharged, thereby preventing the ink from being solidified.
