Abstract
A liquid discharge apparatus includes an apparatus body, a holder, a stage, an exhaust fan, a suction port, and a partition. The holder holds a target object. The stage reciprocates while holding the holder that holds the target object. The exhaust fan generates an airflow. The suction port is disposed on a side portion of the holder to suck the airflow generated by the exhaust fan. The partition partitions an interior of the apparatus body into a space including the suction port and a space not including the suction port. The partition and the holder are arranged to form an airflow path toward the suction port between the partition and the holder.
