Abstract:
A liquid holding amount of a porous body of a liquid absorbing member for removing at least a portion of an aqueous liquid component from an image obtained by ink jet printing is controlled so as to reduce damage to the porous body while maintaining performance of removing attached matters from the porous body by using a cleaning member which abuts on the porous body and has an adhesive force.

Claim (Index 7):
An ink jet printing apparatus comprising:\n an image forming unit that includes an ink jet printing unit for applying ink containing an aqueous liquid medium and a coloring material on an ink receiving medium to form a first image containing an aqueous liquid component and the coloring material; a liquid absorbing unit that is provided with a liquid absorbing member including a porous body which includes a liquid absorbing surface configured to be brought into contact with the first image, and absorbs at least a portion of the aqueous liquid component from the first image via the liquid absorbing surface; a cleaning member that is disposed so as to be in contact with a liquid absorbing surface of the porous body and has an adhesive force for removing attached matters from the liquid absorbing surface; a moving control unit that brings the cleaning member and the porous body into contact with each other when the image forming unit forms the first image on the ink receiving medium and causes the cleaning member and the porous body to be separated from each other after the image forming unit forms the first image; and a liquid applying unit that applies an aqueous liquid to the porous body in order to bring the porous body into a wet state for removing attached matters by the adhesive force, wherein the liquid applying unit applies the aqueous liquid to the porous body before the moving control unit brings the cleaning member into contact with the porous body.
