An ink supplying apparatus of an image forming device including an ink discharging unit to discharge ink of an ink cartridge, a needle connected to the ink discharging unit to form an ink supplying passage, a blocking unit to block the needle from being exposed to the outside, and a sealing member to seal the ink discharging unit and the blocking unit. Accordingly, the apparatus can not only block the needle from being exposed to the outside, but can also prevent an ink leakage, thereby facilitating a safer use of the image forming device to safely use.

An array printhead and an inkjet image forming apparatus having the same are include a first member, a second member, a third member, and a support member. The first through third members and the support member sequentially overlap and couple to each other. The first member supplies ink of different colors into the second member and the second member separately receives the ink of different colors supplied from the first member. The third member includes a plurality of head chips that eject ink supplied from the second member thereon and the support member fixes the first member, the second member, and the third member using a plurality of coupling elements.

A bubble removing apparatus for removing air bubbles in ink to be supplied to a printer head of an inkjet printer and a method of removing the air bubbles are provided to provide a smooth flow of ink to the inkjet printer head. When an air bubble removing operation is performed, ink in an ink tank is moved towards the printer head through a filter unit by operating the pump in a forward direction, and the ink that has moved towards the printer head is returned to the ink tank through the filter unit by operating the pump in a reverse direction. Air bubbles trapped in the filter unit are moved to the ink tank due to the operation of the pump in the reverse direction and are removed in the ink tank by the gravitational force, and thereby a smooth flowing ink supply can be provided to the printer head.

An array printhead and an image forming apparatus having the same. The array printhead includes a first member, a second member, and a third member. The first, second, and third members sequentially overlap and couple to each other. The first member supplies ink of different colors to the second member and the second member separately receives the ink of different colors supplied from the first member and allows the ink to flow to the third member. The third member includes a plurality of head chips. A plurality of supply grooves are formed in a side of the third member on which the plurality of head chips are mounted. The plurality of supply grooves includes a plurality of supply holes that provide the ink of different colors supplied from the second member to the plurality of head chips. The plurality of supply holes are located on an axis different from axes of other adjacent supply holes with respect to a direction perpendicular to a width direction of a print medium.

An ink supply system for an ink cartridge includes an ink tank and a negative pressure regulator. The ink tank holds ink of a predetermined color therein and has an exit port disposed on a lower portion thereof to dispense ink from the tank. The negative pressure regulator is attached to the ink tank and has a body, a needle protruding from an upper portion of the body, and a needle protective member disposed about the needle and to move vertically over the needle. When the ink tank and the negative pressure regulator are assembled, the exit port presses down on the needle protective member, and the needle extends from the needle protective member into the exit port.

An ink cartridge for an ink jet printer is provided. The provided ink cartridge has an ink reservoir and a housing for covering the ink reservoir with a negative pressure maintenance unit therebetween, to maintain the inner pressure of the ink reservoir under a negative pressure. Since the negative pressure maintenance unit does not contact ink in the ink reservoir, the negative pressure maintenance unit does not corrode. In addition, the negative pressure maintenance unit is installed between the housing and the ink reservoir while occupying a small space, and thus improving the filling efficiency of ink in the ink reservoir.

A scrapping unit and an image forming apparatus having the same, and cleaning methods thereof to improve a maintenance performance. The scrapping unit cleans a polluted member disposed in an image forming apparatus and stained by a polluting material. The scrapping unit may include an endless belt to circulate between an exposed position where a surface of the endless belt is exposed toward the polluted member, and a non-exposed position where the surface of the endless belt is not exposed with respect to the polluted member, and a belt support frame which includes a belt support surface to support the endless belt so that the endless belt can be unfolded in the exposed position, and a storing space to store the endless belt so that the endless belt can be folded in the non-exposed position.
