Recording device

Abstract

The invention provides a recording device capable of reducing contact between a medium in which a dry wrinkle arises and a recording head. The recording device includes a carriage including a recording head configured to discharge liquid onto a medium and being movable in an intersecting direction, the intersecting direction intersecting a transport direction of the medium; a suction platen facingthe recording head and being configured to suck the medium; a transport mechanism provided upstream from the suction platen in the transport direction and configured to transport the medium downstream in the transport direction; a drying unit located downstream from the recording head in the transport direction; a medium suction mechanism configured to suck the medium fed to the drying unit; anda controller configured to control the transport mechanism. The controller has a control mode configured to form a curved portion by curving between the drying unit and the suction platen in the transport direction, a part of the medium.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a recording device for performing recording on a medium. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, among the inkjet printers which are one of the recording devices, some printers include a paper conveying device which conveys a roll paper which is one of the media. In an inkjet printer, for example, when a recording with a high printing rate (duty ratio) is performed on a roll paper, a large number of ink particles are ejected toward the roll paper. On a web to which a large amount of ink particles adhere, there may be so-called wrinkles that absorb a large amount of ink and swell into waves. [0003] In order to solve the problem of wrinkling, there is a recording device in which ribs are provided on a platen facing a recording head (Patent Document 1). In the printer described in Patent Document 1, the wrinkle generated on the medium can be reliably sucked through the suction hole provided between the ribs while...

Problems solved by technology

In this case, even the platen described in Patent Document 1 may not be able to completely absorb the web on the platen due to the large dry wrinkles.

Also, the media may be lifted from the platen by reaching the dry folds of the platen, and the lifted web may collide with the recording head moving in a direction crossing the conveying direction of the web.
