A liquid storage apparatus includes a storage unit configured to extractably store a liquid container with flexibility, a path forming unit connected to the liquid container stored in the storage unit and configured to form a path configured to flow a liquid out of the liquid container, and a pressing unit configured to press the liquid container stored in the storage unit. The pressing unit is configured to perform a stirring operation of stirring the liquid stored in the liquid container by repeating pressing of the liquid container and reducing of the pressing, and a regulating operation of maintaining a state in which the liquid container is pressed and regulating extraction of the liquid container from the storage unit.

A stirring apparatus includes a storage portion configured to store a container, a stirring unit configured to perform a stirring operation for the container stored in the storage portion such that a liquid contained in the container is stirred, a regulating unit whose state changes between a regulating state in which extraction of the container from the storage portion is regulated and a regulation cancel state, and a control unit.

The control unit interrupts the stirring operation upon determining that the state of the regulating unit changes from the regulating state to the regulation cancel state during the stirring operation, and resumes the stirring operation upon determining that the state of the regulating unit changes from the regulation cancel state to the regulating state during the interruption of the stirring operation.

A liquid supply apparatus includes a supply mechanism that supplies a liquid to a flow path from a first container containing the liquid, from a second container containing a liquid of the same color as the first container, or from both the first container and the second container, wherein when a remaining amount of the liquid in the first container drops below a first threshold, the supply mechanism supplies the liquid from the first container to the flow path, supplies the liquid from the second container having a higher remaining amount of the liquid than the first container to the flow path, and mixes the liquid from the first container and the liquid from the second container within the flow path.
