To effectively prevent a deterioration in liquid absorption performance of a liquid absorption member by preventing thickening of the liquid absorption member for absorbing a liquid component of a formed image.SOLUTION: A liquid absorption device comprises a liquid absorption member for absorbing a liquid component, support means for supporting the liquid absorption member in a circularly movable manner, and liquid removal means for removing a surplus liquid included in the liquid absorption member. The liquid absorption device absorbs the liquid component from an ink image that is formed on a medium subjected to discharge. The liquid removal means includes a removal part for removing the surplus liquid included in the liquid absorption member, and an impartation part for imparting the liquid to the liquid absorption member before removal performed by the removal part. The removal part removes the liquid from the liquid absorption member including the imparted liquid.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8 【課題】本発明は形成画像の液体成分を吸収する液吸収部材の増粘を防ぎ、液吸収部材の液吸収性能の低下をより効果的に防ぐことである。【解決手段】液吸収装置は、液体成分を吸収する液吸収部材と、液吸収部材を循環的に移動可能に支持する支持手段と、液吸収部材に含まれる余剰の液体を除去する液除去手段と、を備え、被吐出媒体上に形成されたインク像から液体成分を吸収する。液除去手段は、液吸収部材に含まれる余剰の液体を除去する除去部と、除去部による除去前に液吸収部材に液体を付与する付与部と、を含み、除去部が付与された液体を含んだ液吸収部材から液体を除去する。【選択図】図８
