PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the durability and reliability without damaging an ink- feeding path even when a head is moved between a recording location and a recovering motion location. SOLUTION: Ink feeding paths 17Y, 17M, 17C and 17K connect heads 4Y, 4M, 4C and 4K which are held by a head unit 5 with ink storage means 15Y, 15M, 15C and 15K which are set on the outside. Such ink-feeding paths 17Y, 17M, 17C and 17K are arranged through the vicinity of a turning shaft 7 which turnably supports the head unit 5. Since the ink-feeding paths 17Y, 17M, 17C and 17K are connected with the ink storage means 15Y, 15M, 15C and 15K on the outside through the vicinity of the turning shaft 7, even when the head unit 5 is turned, the ink-feeding paths 17Y, 17M, 17C and 17K are prevented from lifting from the head unit 5. Also, it is not necessary to keep an excessive slack for ensuring the movement of the head unit 5 on the ink-feeding paths 17Y, 17M, 17C and 17K. |
