ABSTRACT:
A buffer tank for use in an inkjet printer wherein the buffer tank is located between one or more ink storage tanks which store one or more sorts of ink, and one or more inkjet recording heads which eject the one or more inks toward a recording medium and thereby perform recording on the recording medium. The buffer tank includes a partition wall which separates an inner space of the buffer tank into a plurality of ink delivery chambers which temporarily store the one or more inks; and a pair of flexible wall portions which are spaced from each other and which cooperate with each other to constitute a portion of the partition wall and partly define a pressure-change absorbing chamber which allows the pair of flexible wall portions to be flexed to absorb the change of pressure of the one or more inks temporarily stored by the ink delivery chambers.
