PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ink jet printer wherein a textile printing operation to a cloth is efficiently and immediately executed without loss of time by reducing a time period for executing the flushing for ejecting ink from a nozzle on an ink jet head. SOLUTION: A length of an ink receiving groove 50 that is provided on a platen 10 in a direction Y and receives ink drops which are ejected from the nozzle of the ink jet head 30 and downwardly dripped through a cloth 20 to a portion below the cloth 20 is extended in the direction Y of the surface of the platen 10 such that the end section 52 of the ink receiving groove is exposed to a portion outside the side edge of the cloth 20 mounted on the platen 10. The ink for flushing can be ejected to a portion inside the edge section 52 of the ink receiving groove 50 exposed to the portion outside the side edge of the cloth 20 from the nozzle of the ink jet head 30 which is moved to a portion above the edge section of the ink receiving groove 50. |
