Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3088186A1] The inkjet printing apparatus is equipped with: a deaeration module (831) provided in the ink supply path; a vacuum pump (832) for reducing the pressure of the ink through a gas-permeable membrane of the deaeration module; an atmosphere access valve (834) provided between the deaeration module and the vacuum pump and capable of switching the vacuum pump between a deaera-tion module-connected state and a state that is open to the atmo - sphere; and a control device (9) for controlling a liquid delivery pump, the vacuum pump and the atmosphere access valve. The control device performs pump-drying control, which opens the atmo - sphere access valve to the atmosphere and operates the vacuum pump.
