ABSTRACT:
A maintenance sheet with a facing surface facing a nozzle formation surface of a liquid ejection head provided in a liquid ejecting apparatus is provided. The maintenance sheet includes a cap section that is brought into abutment with the nozzle formation surface to form a sealed space in cooperation with the nozzle formation surface when the facing surface and the nozzle formation surface have been made to approach each other relatively in a facing position where the facing surface faces the nozzle formation surface, and that is made variable in internal volume in the abutment state, a communication hole that is penetratingly formed so as to allow the inside and outside of the cap section to communicate with each other, and a valve that opens and closes the communication hole. The valve activates to open with a reduction in the internal volume of the cap section, while the valve activates to close with an increase in the internal volume of the cap section.
