Abstract:
A printing apparatus includes a transfer section and a non-transfer section configured to be moved cyclically, a print unit configured to form an ink image on the transfer section, a transfer unit configured to perform a transfer operation and a liquid absorbing unit configured to absorb a liquid component from the ink image. The liquid absorbing unit includes a liquid absorbing sheet, a driving unit configured to move the sheet cyclically, and a displacing unit configured to displace the sheet between a contact state in which the sheet can contact the transfer section and a retracted state. When the non-transfer section is located at a liquid absorbing position where the sheet and the transfer section contact with each other, the displacing unit displaces the sheet from the retracted state to the contact state.

Claim (Index 10):
The apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein in a state in which the transfer drum rotates and the liquid absorbing sheet is at rest, the displacing unit displaces the liquid absorbing sheet from the retracted state to the contact state.
