Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance a wiping property of a recording liquid adhering to an ejection face without lowering a volatile property of the ejection face. SOLUTION: A maintenance/recovery device of liquid droplet ejection head includes a first wiping mechanism 300, a cleaning liquid applying means 411 for supplying a cleaning liquid to an ejection face 34n of a liquid droplet ejection head 34, a cleaning liquid storing means 412 for storing the cleaning liquid, and a second wiping mechanism 400 for wiping the ejection face of the liquid droplet ejection head after supplying the cleaning liquid. The maintenance/recovery device of liquid droplet ejection head further includes a reflection type sensor 500 as a recording liquid amount detecting means that makes a relationship between a wiping pressure P1 of the first wiping mechanism 300 and a wiping pressure P2 of the second wiping mechanism 400 to be P1
