Abstract
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting head ejecting liquid from nozzles thereof formed on a nozzle formation surface onto a target that is being transported; and a rotating member rotatably disposed opposite the nozzle formation surface, the rotating member having a supporting surface for supporting the target and an absorbing surface for absorbing the liquid ejected from the nozzle. The rotating member has such a configuration that a first maximum length from a rotational center to the absorbing surface is longer than a second maximum length from the rotational center to the supporting surface.
