A liquid jetting apparatus includes a casing, a tank formed with a liquid storage chamber which stores liquid, an inlet which allows the liquid to be poured into the liquid storage chamber, and a liquid outflow channel which allows the liquid to flow out from the liquid storage chamber, a conveying mechanism which conveys a recording medium along a conveying path extending in a front-rear direction, a carriage which moves in a left-right direction, and a head mounted on the carriage and having a nozzle which jets the liquid onto the recording medium conveyed by the conveying mechanism. The tank, the conveying path, and the carriage are arranged inside the casing, the tank is arranged outside the conveying path in the left-right direction, and at least a part of the tank is arranged inside both ends of a movement area of the carriage in the left-right direction.

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a technique capable of appropriately ordering an ink bottle. One embodiment of the present disclosure is a printing apparatus that includes: an ink tank that stores ink supplied from an ink bottle; and a head to which ink is supplied from the ink tank, and the printing apparatus includes a transmission unit configured to transmit status information in which at least information relating to an ink remaining amount within the ink tank is included to a server and order processing of a new ink bottle is performed based on an ink consumption amount of the ink bottle.

There is provided a novel inkjet recording device capable of preventing an ink droplet from being attached to and firmly fixed to a bent pipe part formed at a gutter. The device has a configuration where separately from air flowing through an inflow opening 36 of a gutter 29, secondary air is supplied to a bent region 34bent of a bent pipe part 34, the secondary air flowing in the same direction as air flowing out from an outflow 34out side of the bent pipe part 34. The ink droplet is prevented from being attached and fixed to the bent pipe part 34 formed at the gutter 29 because the secondary air can increase a flow rate of an air flow in an inner peripheral surface region 40 on an inner side of the bent pipe part 34.

A water-based ink for ink-jet recording includes: a pigment, resin particles, a solvent and water, wherein the resin particles are resin particles of an acrylic-based polymer; and a storage elastic modulus E at 25° C. of an ink film, of the water-based ink for ink-jet recording, which is dried and solidified is not less than 9.7×10.sup.8 Pa.

A liquid container to be mounted on a liquid discharge apparatus includes a casing, a pouch, and a spout. The pouch is removable and contained in the casing. The spout is connected to the pouch. The casing has a rigidity that is higher than a rigidity of the pouch. The pouch and the spout each have a dimension in a direction of gravity in a posture of the liquid container that is taken when the liquid container is mounted on the liquid discharge apparatus, and the dimension of the spout is less than or equal to half the dimension of the pouch.

A fluidic ejection cartridge having a unitary integrally-formed body of sintered metal having an upper portion, a lower portion, a sidewall, and a bottom having a nosepiece, the body defining a reservoir. In various embodiments, the body includes at least one of copper, copper alloy, iron steel, carbon steel, iron-copper steel, copper infiltrated steel, copper steel, iron-nickel steel, nickel steel, low alloy steel, hardened steel, diffusion alloyed steel, 300 series stainless steel, 400 series stainless steel, and soft magnetic alloy. Some embodiments include a lid of the sintered metal disposed over and sealed to the upper portion of the body. Some embodiments include a chip in fluid flow communication with the reservoir. Some embodiments include a filter disposed in the reservoir at the lower portion of the body. Some embodiments include a volume of an ejectable fluid disposed within the reservoir.

An ink jet ink composition contains a dye having an azo group, water, and a hindered amine compound having a radical. The dissolved nitrogen concentration of the ink composition is 10 ppm or less.

There is provided a tank including: a wall defining a liquid storage chamber, the wall including: an upper wall defining an upper end of the liquid storage chamber, a lower wall defining a lower end of the liquid storage chamber, and an erected wall between the upper wall and the lower wall and through which the liquid inside the liquid storage chamber is visible from outside of the tank; an inlet penetrating through the upper wall or the erected wall; and an outlet, wherein the lower wall includes an upper stage wall making contact with the erected wall; a lower stage wall located at a position separated and away from the erected wall and below the upper stage wall; and a connecting wall connecting the upper and lower stage walls; and the outlet is disposed below the upper stage wall.

A method of operating a printer supplies an ink solvent or mixture of ink solvents to porous members positioned adjacent printheads. The ink solvent or solvent mixture evaporates from the porous members to provide a solvent vapor environment in the vicinity of the nozzle plates of the printheads. The solvent vapor environment attenuates the evaporation of ink solvent from ink drops on the nozzle plates or from the ink in the nozzles of the printheads. Thus, the ink on the nozzle plates and in the nozzles does not dry out and the operational status of the inkjets is preserved.

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a technique capable of appropriately ordering an ink bottle. One embodiment of the present disclosure is a printing apparatus that includes: an ink tank that stores ink supplied from an ink bottle; and a head to which ink is supplied from the ink tank, and the printing apparatus includes a transmission unit configured to transmit status information in which at least information relating to an ink remaining amount within the ink tank is included to a server and order processing of a new ink bottle is performed based on an ink consumption amount of the ink bottle.
