ABSTRACT:
An ink jet recording apparatus for performing recording by discharging ink from an ink jet recording head to a recording medium includes a carriage, an ink tank, an ink supply and a moving mechanism. The carriage reciprocably moves the recording head in a carriage moving direction different from a conveying direction of the recording medium. The ink tank is supported by the carriage and contains the ink to be supplied to the ink jet recording head. A length of the ink tank in the carriage moving direction is greater than that of the ink jet recording head in the carriage moving direction. The ink supply member forms an ink supply path for supplying the ink of the ink tank to the ink jet recordding head. The moving mechanism relatively moves the ink jet recording head and the ink tank so that the moving distance of the ink tank is shorter than the moving distance of the ink jet recording head when the carriage moves from one end to another end of a recordable range.
