PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ink jet recorder in which ink does not adhere easily to the inner surface at the circumferential wall part of a cap and the tight contact face thereof, ink can move easily to an ink absorber and ink can be discharged quickly to the outside of the cap member upon arriving at the ink absorber. SOLUTION: The ink jet recorder comprises an ink jet recording head for ejecting ink, a cap member for keeping tight contact with the nozzle forming face of the recording head, and means for sucking ink ejected from a nozzle wherein an ink absorbing material is contained in the cap member and the ink absorbing material comprises a plurality of ink absorbing materials 82, 83. The ink absorbing material 82 located on the bottom wail side of the cap member has higher wettability than that of the ink absorbing material 83 located on the nozzle forming face side. |
