PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a stress acting on a recording head generated based on the rigidity of an ink supply tube extending from a cartridge to a recording head on a carriage. SOLUTION: A first ink supply member 11 is employed from an ink cartridge to a carriage 5 and a second ink supply member 13 is employed from the carriage to a recording head 6. The first ink supply member 11 is composed of polyethylene resin and the second ink supply member 13 is composed of a rubber material. Since a stress acting on the recording head based on the rigidity of the first ink supply member 11 can be absorbed by the second ink supply member 13 composed of a rubber material having a low flexural modulus, the stress acting on the recording head can be reduced. |
