Abstract
A printer can comprise an ink head for discharging ink toward a printing medium, and a blowing device for blowing air against the printing medium. The blowing device can comprise a first case that is disposed further rearward, in a direction of movement, than the ink head. The first case can have a first air intake opening for taking in air of the vicinity of the printing medium, a first fan for drawing in air from the first air intake opening and expelling air from a first outlet opening. A second case can be positioned further rearward, in the movement direction Y, than the first air intake opening, and can have a second air intake opening that opens facing upward and a second fan for drawing in air from the second air intake opening and expelling air toward the printing medium from a second outlet opening. The magnitude of the airflow of the first fan can be less than the magnitude of the airflow of the second fan.
