ABSTRACT:
A liquid ejection apparatus comprising: a liquid ejection head, operable to eject liquid to a target; a printing region, at which the liquid ejection head ejects liquid to the target; a flushing region, at which the liquid ejection head ejects liquid to perform a flushing operation; a flushing receiver, provided at the flushing region and adapted to receive liquid ejected from the liquid ejection head at the flushing region; a liquid ejection head carrier, operable to carry the liquid ejection head at least between the printing region and the flushing region; a waiting time information generator, operable to generate a waiting time based on estimation information to estimate a time in which liquid ejected from the liquid ejection head arrives at the flushing receiver; and a controller, operable to control the liquid ejection head carrier to carry the liquid ejection head from the flushing region toward the printing region after the waiting time elapses.
