Patent ID: 8210674

Claim:
A liquid droplet jetting apparatus which jets liquid droplets of a liquid onto a sheet-shaped object, comprising: a plurality of head units having liquid droplet jetting surfaces, respectively, in each of which a row of nozzles aligned in one direction is formed, the head units being arranged in a transport direction of the object intersecting the one direction; a transporting mechanism which transports the object in the transport direction to a position at which the object faces the liquid droplet jetting surfaces of the plurality of head units; and a pressing mechanism which presses the object transported by the transporting mechanism, wherein two head units, among the plurality of head units, adjacent in the transport direction are arranged to be shifted in the one direction, and the pressing mechanism is arranged so as to be aligned in the one direction with one of the two adjacent head units, and to overlap with the other of the two adjacent head units in the transport direction, wherein the pressing mechanism overlaps with the transporting mechanism in a direction perpendicular to the liquid droplet jetting surfaces.
