Abstract
A liquid ejecting apparatus avoids the influence of mist generated by ejection from a liquid ejecting head without reference to the size of the printing width and the duration of the working time. A suction device for removing the ink mist generated and floating in a frame body is connected to the frame body surrounding the maximum scanning range of the liquid ejecting head with the exception of the recording medium side. The suction device includes an exhausting fan for exhausting air from the frame body, pipes for connecting the exhausting fan to the frame body, and a filter disposed at the intermediate part of the pipes.
