Abstract
In an inkjet printer of the present invention, an air blowing outlet is formed around a slit through which ink droplets pass in a cap of a head cover, and air is blown toward a printing object from the blowing outlet. The air blowing outlet is formed independent of the slit, and the direction in which the air is blown is substantially parallel to the flight direction of ink droplets, and thus hardly any blown air meets the ink droplets that have passed through the slit and are flying toward the printing object. On the other hand, ink particles that have rebounded off the printing object are repelled by the air blown from the blowing outlet, and thus the amount of ink particles entering the head cover via the slit is suppressed.
