An ink-jet printer (100) has a movable print carriage (120) carrying a printhead (130) which is supplied with ink from a fixed reservoir (150) via an intermediate portion (135) mounted on a second movable carriage (140). The intermediate portion (135) is connected to the reservoir (150) by first tubing (151), and to the printhead (130) by second tubing (152), the second carriage (140) serving to decouple forces from the print carriage (120) which would lead to deterioration in print quality. The carriages (120, 140) are moved along common longitudinal guides (123, 124) by a drive belt (160). The carriages may be arranged end-to-end or partially overlapping; alternatively one (840, 940) may straddle or enclose the other.
