SOLUTION: A first ink cartridge is equipped with a first head section and a first ink containing section for containing ink of a first color. The first head section has a first ink ejection nozzle group for ejecting the ink of the first color. A second cartridge is equipped with a second head section and second and third ink containing sections for containing inks of second and third colors, respectively. A second ink ejection nozzle group for ejecting the ink of second color and a third ink ejection nozzle group for ejecting the ink of third color are provided to the second head section in series.
