PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce waste fluid absorber comprising a matrix fiber and a thermally meltable and adhesive fiber, and useful for absorbing waste fluid arising from a print head of a press (e.g. an ink-jet printer, a plotter, a facsimile machine). SOLUTION: This waste fluid absorber is produced by making nonwoven fabric of matrix fibers and thermally meltable and adhesive fibers (pref. through opening, carding and cross-laying processes), by heat-treating the non-woven fabric to partially melt and adhere and by interlacing the fibers three- dimensionally. Spunbonded fabric is pref. laminated on the one surface of the above absorber. When extruding once absorbed and held ink from the absorber with an air pump, bubbles don't arise on the surface of the absorber, and the absorber retains rigidity and excellent dimensional stability.
