Abstract
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes: a first liquid ejecting head having a first wiping surface oriented in a first direction; a second liquid ejecting head disposed in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction with respect to the first liquid ejecting head and having a second wiping surface; and a wiping member. A third direction is orthogonal to the first and second directions; a fourth direction is vertical to the first direction and intersects the second and third directions. The first and second liquid ejecting heads are arranged with a gap between the first and second wiping surfaces. The gap includes a first gap extending in the fourth direction. The first wiping surface has a first region that protrudes toward the second liquid ejecting head beyond an imaginary line extending in the fourth direction so as to overlap the first gap.
