PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inkjet recorder whose carriage is not forced in a main scanning direction even when the carriage is at an end of the main scanning direction, and which reduces a necessary space by minimizing outward bulging of a tube. SOLUTION: The inkjet recorder 1 has: a head 2 making a printing on a printing object S with ink; a carriage 3 having the head 2 thereon and reciprocating on the object S in the main scanning direction; an ink tank 4 storing ink; and a tube 5 carrying ink from the ink tank 4 to the head 2. The recorder 1 also has a holding member 10 supporting the tube 5 with a predetermined bend radius formed therein. The holding member 10 moves so as to keep the tube 5 from outward bulging in association with a main scanning direction movement of the carriage 3. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
