An ink cartridge (3) including an ink reservoir portion having a porous member (37) for storing ink and an ink supply portion (39) has an ink inducing element (47) disposed between the ink reservoir portion and the ink supply portion (39). The ink inducing element (47) is made of bundle of fibers in which each fiber is disposed in parallel to the direction of ink supplying from the ink reservoir to the ink supply portion (39), and one end of the ink inducing element (47) is press-touched to the porous member (37).

The ink jet printing apparatus has an ink moving device for returning almost all of the ink in the sub ink tank to the main ink tank. The method of supplying ink has a first step of returning the ink in the sub ink tank to the main ink tank, a second step of discharging bubbles in the sub ink tank out of the sub ink tank, and a third step of, after the first step, supplying a predetermined amount of ink from the main ink tank to the sub ink tank. The method of recovering the ink jet print head has a first step of returning the ink in the sub ink tank to the main ink tank, and a second step of discharging the ink from the print head by, after the first step, applying an external pressure against any part of the ink supply path.

A liquid storing container employable for an ink jet recording apparatus includes a housing, a storing area containing a porous ink absorbing member, a valve mechanism, a filter in contact with the porous member, and a stopper. The liquid storing container is detachably connected to an ink jet recording head, where the valve mechanism allows an outflow of ink to the ink jet head through the joint portion when connected to an ink feed pipe, and closes the joint portion when disconnected from the ink feed pipe.

An ink cartridge (3) including an ink reservoir portion having a porous member (37) for storing ink and an ink supply portion (39) has an ink inducing element (47) disposed between the ink reservoir portion and the ink-supply portion (39). The ink inducing element (47) is made of bundle of fibers in which each fiber is disposed in parallel to the direction of ink supplying from the ink reservoir to the ink supply portion (39), and one end of the ink inducing element (47) is press-touched to the porous member (37).
摘要:
An ink container includes a cylindrical member having a closed end and an opposite open end; and a flexible member covering the open end of the cylindrical member to define an ink containing portion. The flexible member has a bottom portion and a bent portion that is movable along an internal surface of the cylindrical member with consumption of the ink therein, wherein the bottom portion is less easily deformable than the bent portion and movement of the bent portion is irreversible.
