Abstract
A stiffness measuring device includes a holding portion that holds a recording material so that a recording surface of the recording material is substantially parallel to a vertical direction, a pressing portion, and a stiffness acquiring section. The pressing portion presses a measurement point located on a lower side in the vertical direction than the portion of the recording material held by the holding portion. The stiffness acquiring section measures a reaction force obtained when the measurement point is pressed by the pressing portion and acquires the measured reaction force as the stiffness of the recording material.
