1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an ink-jet recording apparatus for jetting an ink or inks from nozzles.
2. Description of the Related Art
In an ink-jet printer described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 7-61078, runners or rollers, which are rotatably supported by shafts extending in a direction perpendicular to a scanning direction, are arranged respectively at both end portions in relation to the scanning direction of a carriage which is reciprocatively movable in the scanning direction and on which a printing head is carried. The recording paper is pressed downwardly by the rollers. Accordingly, the recording paper is prevented from causing the floating-up which would be otherwise caused, for example, by the swelling brought about by the landing of the ink during the printing. Owing to the prevention of the floating-up of the recording paper, the recording paper is prevented, for example, from being brought in contact with an ink jetting surface of the printing head.
