Abstract
An inkjet printing apparatus, comprising: a recording head; an ink reservoir; an ink receiver; a first waste liquid reservoir comprising a first holding body; a second waste liquid reservoir comprising a second holding body; and a housing, wherein: the second waste liquid reservoir is movable between a first position where the first and second holding bodies contact and a second position; in a state where the second waste liquid reservoir is at the second position, the first holding body overlaps with the second holding body in an intersecting direction intersecting with a moving direction in which the second waste liquid reservoir moves; and in a state where the second waste liquid reservoir is disposed at the first position, the first and second holding bodies contact such that at least one of the first and second holding bodies elastically deforms to show an restoring force in the intersecting direction.
