An ink-jet printer which includes ink cartridges installed in an installed part provided on the body of the printer so that the ink cartridges can be detached for supplying ink to an ink jet head. The cartridges are arranged in a staircase manner as viewed from the top, and a waste ink absorber for absorbing ink forcedly sucked outside the head via a nozzle when the nozzle of the head is clogged is arranged in a position in which an ink droplet dropped from an ink supply needle can be absorbed under the installed part. As a result, the width of the ink-jet printer is reduced as is the number of parts.
