Abstract

See full text

A liquid droplet jetting apparatus includes: a liquid droplet jetting head; a liquid kind detecting section detecting whether a liquid, used in the liquid droplet jetting head, is a first liquid having a conductivity of not less than a predetermined value or a second liquid having a conductivity of less than the predetermined value; a discharge mechanism discharging the liquid inside the liquid droplet jetting head therefrom; a waste liquid recovery device recovering the liquid discharged by the discharge mechanism, and including: a waste liquid case, an absorbing body accommodated in the waste liquid case, and a waste liquid detection mechanism measuring an electric current value in the absorbing body and thereby detecting whether or not the liquid arrives at a full-liquid detection position of the absorbing body; and a waste liquid absorb amount estimating section estimating an amount of the waste liquid absorbed in the absorbing body.
