A liquid ejection inspecting apparatus includes: (A) a sensing section;
(B) a detection section; and (C) a determination section. The sensing
section is arranged in a state of non-contact with a liquid ejection
nozzle for ejecting a liquid. The sensing section has a sensing surface
arranged in a direction in which the liquid is ejected from the liquid
ejection nozzle. The detection section is for detecting an induced
current generated in the sensing section due to the liquid which has been
ejected from the liquid ejection nozzle and charged electrically. The
determination section is for determining whether or not ejection of the
liquid from the liquid ejection nozzle is being normally performed, based
on the induced current detected by the detection section.
