ABSTRACT:
An ink jet apparatus includes a first ejecting portion for ejecting a treatment liquid having a function of insolubilizing or agglomerating an ink and a second ejecting portion for ejecting the ink, in which apparatus a waste liquid of the treatment liquid and a waste liquid of the ink are mixed so that the mixture is insolubilized or agglomerated and is stored within the apparatus. Cap units for recovering heads, which eject ink or treatment liquid having a function of insolubilizing or agglomerating the ink, contact the heads to cap the heads when a carriage is at the home position in order to prevent the ink and treatment liquid from evaporating. The ink and treatment liquid in the heads, which are sucked upon recovering treatment, are transferred from pump units to a waste liquid storing portion by means of tubes. The ink and treatment liquid discharged from the heads upon recovering are transferred via the tubes on an inclined bottom surface of the waste liquid storing portion in which they are mixed and stored in an insolubilized or agglomerated state.
