ABSTRACT:
An inkjet printer that includes a main tank with ink, a sub-tank unit including a sub-tank, an ink supply mechanism including an ink absorber. Wherein the ink supply mechanism supplies ink from the main tank to the sub-tank. Wherein the main tank and the sub-tank are disconnected from each other when ink is not being supplied from the main tank to the sub-tank, and are connected to each other via the ink supply mechanism when ink is being supplied from the main tank to the sub-tank. Wherein the ink absorber is positioned in the ink supply mechanism so as to absorb ink from the sub-tank. Wherein the ink absorber is also positioned in the ink supply mechanism so as to present less resistance to ink flowing through the ink supply mechanism into the sub-tank than when ink is not being supplied from the main tank to the sub-tank.
