Abstract
A printing device includes a head portion, a receptacle portion, an absorption member, a discharge outlet, and a plurality of extended wall portions. The head portion includes a nozzle face having a nozzle. The absorption member is supported by the receptacle portion, is provided to absorb the liquid, and has a through-hole. The through-hole extends through the absorption member between a first face and a second face in an orthogonal direction to the nozzle face. The first face is an opposite side to the second face. The second face faces the nozzle face in the orthogonal direction. The discharge outlet is provided in a bottom wall portion of the receptacle portion and is continuous with an outside of the receptacle portion. The bottom wall portion extends along the nozzle face. The extended wall portions project from the bottom wall portion to the nozzle face side and support the first face.
