PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inkjet device capable of storing purge pressure in an ink storing portion. SOLUTION: An ink jet device with an ink reservoir and a jetting assembly comprises an ink supply line being arranged to allow liquid ink to flow through the valve into the ink reservoir in accordance with and supported by gravity acting on the flowing ink, and a purging device adapted to apply a purging pressure to an inner space of the ink reservoir, wherein a passive one-way valve is arranged below a nominal minimal fill level of the ink reservoir for blocking a connection of the ink supply line to the ink reservoir when a pressure within the ink reservoir is high enough but not required to be higher than the purging pressure.
