Since a head part is arranged in an inclined posture, the ink ejected from a nozzle surface of the head part may drip to a first lower surface peripheral edge portion along the nozzle surface, and then drops from a first long side of a lower surface of the head part toward a first side wall of a cover member being arranged below the head part. The first side wall having an upper end portion is located away from the first long side. Thus, the dropped ink is collected by the cover member without being attached to the upper end portion of the first side wall. Therefore, the ink can be prevented from being solidified at the first lower surface peripheral edge portion and the reattachment of the ink to the nozzle surface can be effectively prevented.

Printing apparatus for printing by discharging ink to an upper surface of a base material in the form of an elongated strip

The present invention provides a liquid storing device that includes at least a tank for storing a liquid, a supply tube that supplies the liquid to the tank, and a discharge tube that discharges the liquid stored in the tank. The supply tube diverges at a T branch joint into an upper supply tube and a lower supply tube. The upper supply tube has an upper supply port in the tank, the upper supply port positioned above a level of the liquid stored in the tank. The lower supply tube has a lower supply port in the tank, the lower supply port positioned below the level of the liquid.
