Abstract:
The ink is discharged to the printing medium F located in the first range R 1  from the upstream end Wuu of the upstream winding part Wu where the support roller 26 a  and the printing medium F are in contact to the downstream end Wdd of the downstream winding part Wd where the support roller 26 e  and the printing medium F are in contact. The support rollers 26 a,  26 e  located on both ends of the first range R 1  are in contact with the printing medium F on the peripheral surfaces 261 having such a concave shape to increase the diameter from the center toward the ends in the width direction Y (axial direction). This causes these support rollers 26 a,  26 e  to suppress the formation of wrinkles in the first range R 1  where the ink is discharged.

Claim (Index 3):
The printing apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein:\n the ink discharging unit includes a plurality of discharge heads arranged in the conveying direction and causes the ink to be landed at a plurality of landing positions arranged at intervals in the conveying direction in the second range by causing each of the plurality of discharge heads to discharge the ink to the corresponding landing position; the conveying unit further includes an intermediate roller located between the upstream roller and the downstream roller in the conveying direction and configured to contact the printing medium between the landing positions adjacent in the conveying direction; and the intermediate roller is in contact with the printing medium on a peripheral surface shaped to increase a diameter from a center toward ends in an axial direction.
