Abstract
A recording apparatus includes: a medium support section that supports a recording medium; and an electromagnetic wave irradiation section that dries ink present on the recording medium by irradiating electromagnetic waves to the recording medium on the medium support section, in which the medium support section has a first region including an irradiation region of the electromagnetic wave irradiation section and a second region provided adjacent to the first region, having thermal conductivity lower than that of the first region, and including a non-irradiating region of the electromagnetic wave irradiation section, and is provided with an opening section through which vapor evaporated from the ink passes.
