A pressing part 24 through which the ink flows from the ink cartridge 21 to the printing head 14 is provided in an ink passage 22 between the ink cartridge 21 and the printing head 14. In the pressing part 24, a compressed air fed by an air pump 25 is once accumulated in a charge tank 26 by closing an electromagnetic on-off valve 28 for providing a pressure.
