Patent ID: 8529029

Claim:
An inkjet printer for printing to a recording material, comprising: at least one print head via which ink droplets are ejected under pressure onto a recording material; an intermediate ink container from which ink is supplied as needed to the print head; a pumping device that supplies pumped ink, and after pumping by the pumping device said ink is supplied into the intermediate ink container via an ink inlet from the pumping device; at least one current director arranged at a distance from a floor within a region of the intermediate ink container filled with said ink and which is angled downwardly toward the floor such that ink flowing out of the ink inlet from the pumping device initially flows in a radial direction at an angle of inclination defining a downward slope towards the floor and when striking the floor is deflected upwardly by the floor and thereafter is deflected by a container wall of the intermediate ink container such that an ink current in the intermediate ink container is generated via which a stirring of the ink in the intermediate ink container occurs.
