Abstract
A recording apparatus which transports a recording material onto a recording support unit, ejects ink from a recording head to perform recording on the recording material, includes: a hot air generating unit which is provided at a holding member of the recording head on one side of the recording head; and an exhaust unit which is provided at the holding member on the other side of the recording head. Here, the recording apparatus is configured to form a first air stream in which hot air blown out from the hot air generating unit passes between the recording head and the recording support unit so as to reach the exhaust unit when the exhaust unit is in operation.
