Abstract
A sloped surface is provided inside an ink tank of an exchangeable ink jet head cartridge arranged in a scan-type ink jet apparatus. An acceleration of the ink jet head cartridge scanned for recording and an inertia of ink are utilized to allow the ink to climb the slope, whereby the ink can be favorably supplied to a recording head.
