A liquid-droplet ejecting apparatus including a liquid ejecting head
having an ejection opening from which a droplet of a liquid is ejected, a
first tank in which a liquid storing chamber storing the liquid to be
supplied to the liquid ejecting head and a gas chamber storing a gas are
formed, a second tank storing the liquid to be supplied to the liquid
storing chamber, a gas-permeable film which closes a communication
portion at which the gas chamber and liquid storing chamber communicate
with each other, separates the gas chamber and liquid storing chamber
from each other, and allows the gas to pass therethrough but does not
allow the liquid to pass therethrough, a suction passage in communication
with the gas chamber, a sucking device sucking the gas from the gas
chamber through the suction passage, and a pressure control device
disposed in the suction passage and communicating an internal space of
the suction passage with an external space of the suction passage when an
internal pressure of the suction passage decreases below a threshold
lower than the atmospheric pressure due to the sucking of the gas by the
sucking device, in order to inhibit the internal pressure of the suction
passage from excessively decreasing.
