  • Publication number: 20230264480
    Abstract: A liquid discharge apparatus has a storage portion configured to store a discharged material, a discharge port configured to communicate with the storage portion and discharge the discharged material stored in the storage portion, and a pressure control device configured to control a pressure of the discharged material stored in the storage portion. The pressure control device controls the pressure of the discharged material to shift from a first negative pressure state, to a second negative pressure state of a greater negative pressure than the first negative pressure state, and then to a third positive pressure state.
