The inkjet printer has a recording head, a buffer tank, and a mounting portion with an ink supply tube and an air intake tube. The method includes establishing fluid communication between an interior of the ink chamber and the ink supply tube via the first opening, and then establishing fluid communication between the interior of the ink chamber and the air intake tube via the second opening, where the pressure of the ink chamber interior is less than atmospheric pressure. The inkjet printer includes a buffer tank in communication with a recording head, a mounting portion having an ink supply tube and an air intake tube, and an ink cartridge including a case having a first and second opening.
