Abstract
A coating liquid application apparatus is capable of automatically and properly applying to a printed surface of a print medium a coating liquid, such as coating materials that improve weatherability of the printed surface. For that purpose, the apparatus includes a pair of rollers in rotating contact with both surfaces of the print medium, one of the rollers in contact with a printed surface of the print medium being used as an application roller, and a coating liquid supply member to supply the coating liquid stored in a coating liquid reservoir to the application roller.
