PRINTING APPARATUS

A printing apparatus includes: a tube configured to form a flow channel to supply a liquid to a liquid ejecting unit configured to eject the liquid; a holding unit configured to hold the tube; and a valve unit configured to move to a closed position to press and close the tube held by the holding unit with a pressing portion from an open position to open the tube held by the holding unit, and to move to the open position from the closed position. Here, the valve unit includes a pivot shaft and moves pivotally around the shaft to move to the closed position and the open position, and a direction of extension of the pivot shaft is a direction intersecting with a direction of extension of the tube held by the holding unit.
