Abstract

In an inkjet printer at least one print head is provided via which ink droplets are ejected onto a recording material. An intermediate ink container supplies ink for the print head. A pumping device pumps ink which is then supplied into the intermediate ink container at an ink inlet from the pumping device. At least one current director is arranged at a distance from a floor within a region of the intermediate ink container and is angled such that ink flowing out of the ink inlet from the pumping device flows in a radial direction at an angle of inclination and is deflected by the floor or a container wall of the ink container such that an ink current is generated via which a stirring of the ink occurs.
