Abstract:
1. A liquid ejecting apparatus, comprising: a retaining part configured to retain a liquid; a first and second heads configured to eject the liquid; and a liquid circulation part where the liquid flows from the retaining part through an inside of the first head to the retaining part, and where the liquid passes from the retaining part through an inside of the second head to the retaining part; the liquid circulation part including a recovery path where the liquid that has flowed inside one of the first head and the second head flows to the retaining part, the recovery path having a first merging point where the liquid that has flowed inside the first head and the liquid that has flowed inside the second head merge together, a first recovery path part where the liquid that has flowed inside the first head flows to the first merging point, and a second recovery path part where the liquid that has flowed inside the first head and the liquid that has flowed inside the second head flows from the first merging point, a cross-sectional area of the second recovery path part, which is orthogonal to a direction of flow of the liquid at the second recovery path part, being greater than a cross-sectional area of the first recovery path part, which is orthogonal to a direction of flow of the liquid at the first recovery path part.
