An inkjet recording apparatus (1) having a main body, a recording head (5), and an ink cartridge (2). The ink cartridge includes: (a-1) an ink reservoir (8, 9) having a spout portion (9); and (a-2) a case (10; 20) which has a case wall spaced apart from a reservoir wall of the ink reservoir, with a space (10a; 20a) being formed between the case wall and the reservoir wall. The case has a case opening (10b; 20b) such that the space is open to an exterior of the case through the case opening. The main body includes: (b-1) a contact member (14; 24) having a recess (14a; 24a) formed in its contact surface, and held in contact at the contact surface with of the case wall such that the recess is opposed to the case opening and the spout portion; (b-2) a gas supplier (6) for supplying a positively pressurized gas into the recess; and (b-3) an ink drawing member (15) connected to the spout portion so that the ink can be supplied from the ink reservoir toward the recording head through the ink drawing member. <IMAGE> |
