An image-recording apparatus includes: a first tank defining a first storage chamber; a second tank defining a second storage chamber; a conveying mechanism for conveying sheets along a conveying path extending in a depthwise direction and a widthwise direction perpendicular to a vertical direction and the depthwise direction; and a recording head including a nozzle. Liquid in the first storage chamber is supplied through a communication port to the second storage chamber and then to the recording head through a liquid outlet port. The second storage chamber is positioned further in a first depthwise direction relative to the nozzle and further in a first widthwise direction relative to the conveying path. A volume of a prescribed space above a liquid level equal to a height of the communication port in the second storage chamber is greater than that of a liquid channel between the liquid outlet port and the nozzle.

The present invention relates to a refined product comprising a substrate having a pattern of a lacquer layer, and a hot stamping foil layer located on the lacquer layer, the lacquer layer having been obtained by inkjet printing from an aqueous lacquer composition comprising a binder composition comprising a polyacrylate and a polyurethane, at least one humectant, and water, the lacquer composition having a binder solids content of at least 20% by weight, preferably at least 30% by weight, based on the total weight of the lacquer composition. The present invention further relates to a process for producing said refined product.
