PURPOSE:To obtain a compact ink container capable of stably supplying ink without an ink leakage caused by vibration or impact by a method wherein an end open part of a supply tube for supplying ink is brought into contact with a liquid-impregnated member having continuous pares provided in a containing space of an ink container. CONSTITUTION:A liquid-impregnated member 604 is inserted to a liquid lead port 603 at an end part 602 of a supply tube 601. As an alternative method, a liquid-impregnated member 703 is provided on a bottom 702 of a liquid storage tank 701. A liquid lead port 706 at an end part 705 of a supply tube 704 forming a recording head part is inserted into the liquid-impregnated member 703 to be fixed. The merits of this invention are as follows: even when a liquid contained in the liquid storage part is left to stand in an inclined state, a short- time printing can be performed without troubles ; even if the liquid is left to stand for a long time, the liquid can be returned to a normal state without including bubbles, and a next printing action can be performed satisfactorily. |
