A liquid-printing apparatus, having a conveyer, a printing head, a liquid storage, a carriage, a scanning assembly, a remaining amount detector, and a controller, is provided. The printing head prints an image in a printing area ranging from a print-start position to a print-finish position along a scanning direction. The scanning assembly performs pass actions to move the carriage from a scan-start position to a scan-terminal position along the scanning direction. The remaining amount detector detects an amount of the liquid in the liquid storage. The controller controls the scanning assembly to perform a first pass action in a setting such that the scan-terminal position for the first pass action is separated farther in the scanning direction, in proportion to largeness of the amount of the liquid in the liquid storage, from one of the printing area for the first pass action and the printing area for a second pass action.

A recording apparatus includes an ink tank, a recording head, a carriage, an ink supply channel, one or more memory devices, and one or more processors to execute the set of instructions to perform operations including causing the recording head to eject the ink based on print data to perform recording on a recording medium; and obtaining, based on the print data, information on an amount of ink to be ejected to a recordable area in which the carriage moves in one of the first direction and the second direction. A length of the ink supply channel from the bend to the recording head increases in the first direction and decreases in the second direction. The one or more processors changes acceleration of the carriage according to the amount of ink to be ejected to the recordable area, the amount being indicated by the information.

A liquid absorber of the present disclosure includes: a first base material; a second base material; and an absorption layer provided between the first base material and the second base material, in which the first base material and the second base material both contain a flame-retardant filament nonwoven fabric, and a content of a flame retardant in the absorption layer is less than 10% by mass.

An ink jet recording apparatus includes an ink composition, an ink encasement in which the ink composition is encased, a recording head that ejects the ink composition, and a carriage configured to move the recording head back and forth. The carriage carries the ink encasement, with the ink encasement integrated with the carriage. The ink encasement has an ink fill port that opens and shuts as a port through which the ink composition is loaded. The ink composition contains a disperse colorant, with the volume-average particle diameter of the disperse colorant being 110.0 nm or more and 200.0 nm or less, and also contains at least one organic solvent with an SP of 9 or more, with the percentage thereof being 10.0% by mass or more.

A monochrome inkjet printer used only for monochrome recording includes a first ink reservoir configured to accommodate dye ink, a first recording head communicating with the first ink reservoir and configured to record an image using the dye ink, a second ink reservoir configured to accommodate pigment ink, and a second recording head communicating with the second ink reservoir and configured to record an image using the pigment ink. At least one of the first ink reservoir and the second ink reservoir includes an ink injection port compatible with an ink bottle.

A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid supplying apparatus. The liquid supplying apparatus includes a supply flow passage that is in communication with a liquid ejecting head configured to eject liquid, a first supply flow passage for communication between a first liquid container and the supply flow passage, the first liquid container containing liquid, and a second supply flow passage for communication between a second liquid container and the supply flow passage, the second liquid container containing the same kind of liquid as the liquid contained in the first liquid container, a switching unit configured to switch a flow passage that is in communication with the supply flow passage, between the first supply flow passage and the second supply flow passage, and a movement restriction unit configured to, linked with switching by the switching unit, restrict movement of the first liquid container and the second liquid container selectively.

A recording apparatus 101 includes a liquid storage portion 46 configured to store liquid, a recording head 22 that ejects liquid supplied from the liquid storage portion 46 onto the medium, and a light emitting unit 301 configured to emit light, wherein the liquid storage portion 46 has a float 48 configured to float on liquid in the liquid storage portion 46 and to move according to movement of liquid surface LS while maintaining a posture, and a front surface 43F in which the liquid in the liquid storage portion 46 is visually checkable from outside the liquid storage portion 46, wherein the float 48 has a front surface 48a that by receiving the light from the light emitting unit 301, appears luminous when viewed from a direction facing the front surface 43F.

A printing-fluid cartridge is inserted into a prescribed insertion space of a cartridge-attachment section in an insertion direction crossing a gravitational direction to be attached thereto in an attached posture. The printing-fluid cartridge includes: a housing including a storage chamber, a supply portion having a supply hole, an electrical interface disposed at an upper surface of the housing, and an interfering surface. The interfering surface is positioned upward of the storage chamber and extends in a widthwise direction of the housing. The interfering surface is positioned downward and frontward relative to the electrical interface and is configured to abut against a projection provided at another insertion space different from the prescribed insertion space of the cartridge-attachment section during an insertion of the printing-fluid cartridge into the another insertion space.

A liquid supply apparatus includes a tank and a cartridge attachable to and detachable from the tank along an attachment and detachment direction crossing a vertical direction. The cartridge includes a first storing chamber configured to store liquid therein. The tank includes a second storing chamber configured to store liquid therein, a liquid channel and an air channel that communicate with the second storing chamber, and an air communication port allowing the second storing chamber to communicate with an outside thereof. When the cartridge is attached to the tank with the first storing chamber of the cartridge communicating with the liquid channel and the air channel of the tank, the first storing chamber has a portion located above the liquid channel and the air channel in the vertical direction, and the tank is located below a secondary-lower surface and faces a secondary-front surface.

A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a carriage unit including a liquid ejecting head and reciprocating in a scanning direction; a liquid container; and a tube supplying liquid sent from the liquid container to the carriage unit. When the carriage unit moves, in a case in which one direction is referred to as a first direction and another direction is referred to as a second direction, the tube extends from the liquid container in the second direction, forms a curved portion curving toward upstream in a transport direction of a medium, is folded back in the first direction, and is coupled to the carriage unit. The carriage unit includes a space that expands in the transport direction upstream of an area in which a portion extending from a coupling start point of the tube toward the curved portion is displaced in accordance with movement of the carriage unit.
