An electrostatic ink jet recording device has a bypass tube for circulation of the ink while bypassing the ink chamber, for obtaining a uniform concentration of toner in the ink. The recording device operates first in an ink stirring mode for stirring the ink in the ink reservoir for a uniform concentration of the toner, then in an ink replacement mode for replacing the ink in the ink chamber by the ink in the ink reservoir, and in a normal operation mode for effecting a normal recording of data. |
