ABSTRACT:
An ink-jet type image recording apparatus includes a recording head which has a nozzle surface having a plurality of nozzles formed therein; a suction mechanism which generates a suction force, a first cap having a first lip portion, and a second cap having a second lip section. Since the second lip portion has a stiffness higher than that of the first lip portion, it is possible to provide an ink-jet type image recording apparatus including a second cap capable of preventing a deformation due to a negative pressure generated inside the second cap, and a first cap capable of maintaining a moisture-retained state of a nozzle group with a less load exerted on the recording head.
