PURPOSE:To make a fixed quantity of ink be supplied to an ink-jet recording device when the ink container is fitted to the recording device by keeping the inside of the flexible ink container of closed-up structure at the prescribed pressure. CONSTITUTION:A subtank 2 is provided between an ink-jet head and the ink container. In a bag-shaped container 9' housed in an ink cassette 7 is filled up the ink in a quantity of about 70-80% of the capacity of the container beforehand, and the inside pressure thereof is kept to be positive. Accordingly, when the ink cassette 7 is connected with a feeding channel 6 by a connecting part 8, the ink in the container 9' is fed, in a prescribed quantity, to the subtank 2, since the pressure inside the bag-shaped container 9' is maintained to be positive. |
