PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inkjet recording device which prevents a negative pressure fracturing and enables a stable ink discharge while keeping pipe arrangement components of an ink supply system as they are with a simple configuration. SOLUTION: The inkjet recording device includes a liquid droplet discharge head which has two or more nozzles for discharging ink, a head tank for creating negative pressure in the liquid droplet discharge head and temporarily storing ink of a predetermined quantity, an ink cartridge for storing ink, and a liquid feed pump which performs a normal feed of liquid for feeding ink to the head tank from the ink cartridge, or performs a reverse feed of liquid for feeding ink to the ink cartridge from the head tank. The creation of negative pressure in the head tank is made by performing the reverse feed of liquid with the feed pump. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
