An ink supply apparatus (10) includes a first container (20) storing an ink (61) therein and a second container (30) storing a volatile solution for the ink (61). The first container (20) and the second container (30) are disposed within a cover (40) supported on a support frame (65). A pad plate (60) can move relative to the first container (20), so that an ink receiving portion (60b) of the pad plate (60) can move into and out of a space defined within the cover (40). The first container (20) can supply the ink onto the ink receiving portion (60b) and can scrape off the ink adhered to portions of the pad plate other than the ink receiving portion (60b).
