Abstract: In a printing apparatus, an image is formed by an inkjet printhead, and a liquid component is absorbed from the image by bringing a cyclically movable liquid absorbing member into contact with the image. Then, the member is nipped by the first roller that contacts the first surface of the member, and the second roller that has a vertical positional relationship with respect to the first roller and contacts the second surface on a side opposite to the first surface. Furthermore, a region where the member is pressurized is formed by sealing the member by bending and winding the member around the first roller located on an upper side of the second roller at the nipped position. Then, the absorbed liquid component is pushed out and collected by moving the member in the nipped state.
