PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology capable of reducing a variation in absorption of a liquid component by a liquid absorption member.SOLUTION: A liquid absorption device, which absorbs a liquid component from an ink image before the ink image formed on a transfer part of a non-transfer part and the transfer part for being circularly moved is transferred to a recording medium, includes: a liquid absorption member for absorbing the liquid component; driving means for circularly moving the liquid absorption member so that it can pass through a liquid absorption position to absorb the liquid component from the ink image on the transfer part; and control means for controlling the driving means so that a predetermined part of the liquid absorption member can pass through the liquid absorption position during the passage of the non-transfer part through the liquid absorption position.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 12 【課題】液吸収部材による液体成分の吸収のばらつきを低減する技術を提供すること。【解決手段】循環的に移動される非転写部および転写部のうち、前記転写部上に形成されるインク像を記録媒体へ転写する前に、前記インク像から液体成分を吸収する液吸収装置であって、前記液体成分を吸収する液吸収部材と、前記転写部上の前記インク像から液体成分を吸収する液吸収位置を通過するように、前記液吸収部材を循環的に移動させる駆動手段と、前記非転写部が前記液吸収位置を通過している間に、前記液吸収部材の所定の部位が前記液吸収位置を通過するように前記駆動手段を制御する制御手段と、を備える。【選択図】図１２
