| 摘要 |
The invention provides a liquid container containing an absorbent member for temporarily retaining, by a capillary force, liquid to be supplied to a recording head for discharging the liquid and mounted together with the recording head on a linearly reciprocating carriage and adapted for receiving liquid replenishment to the absorbent member when the carriage is moved to a predetermined position, wherein, to the surface of the absorbent member, there is applied a polymer provided with a second portion having a lyophilic radical for rendering the surface lyophilic and a first portion having a radical of an interfacial energy different from the interfacial energy of the lyophilic radical but is approximately equal to the surfacial energy of the surface, and the first portion is oriented toward the surface while the second portion is oriented in a direction different from the surface.
