摘要： A liquid ejection apparatus including: a head having an ejection face having ejection openings through which liquid is ejected, an ejection space being defined so as to face the ejection face; a sealing mechanism configured to selectively establish a sealing state for sealing the ejection space and an unsealing state; a humid-air supply mechanism configured to supply humid air into the ejection space in the sealing state; and a controller. The controller controls the humid-air supply mechanism to humidify the ejection space such that a humidity in the ejection space becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined humidity. The controller controls the head to perform a non-ejection flushing in at least one of a humidification period in which the humid-air supply mechanism humidifies the ejection space and a post-humidification period that extends for a first period from a completion of the humidification.

摘要： A capping mechanism selectively takes a capped state in which an ejection space opposing an ejection surface is covered or an uncapped state in which the ejection space is not covered. A controller is configured to: determine whether a first change of the capping mechanism from the capped state to the uncapped state occurred while air moisturized by a moisturization mechanism is being moved to the ejection space by a ventilator or not; and when a second change of the capping mechanism from the uncapped state to the capped state occurred after the first change occurred, control the ventilator to move the air moisturized by the moisturization mechanism to the ejection space when a first uncapped time is shorter than a first predetermined time, and control a discharger to discharge the liquid through ejection openings when the first uncapped time is not shorter than the first predetermined time.
