Abstract:
An efficiency of a liquid supply to an ejection head such as an inkjet head is improved. An ink supply apparatus is provided that supplies ink to an inkjet head of a printer which is an example of inkjet recording apparatuses. The ink supply apparatus includes a non-replaceable ink pack disposed at a position at which the ink stored inside is suppliable by a hydraulic head differential to the printer, and a replaceable pack holder that replaceably holds a replaceable ink pack provided apart from the non-replaceable ink pack. The ink to be supplied to the non-replaceable ink pack is containable in the replaceable ink pack at a position preceding the non-replaceable ink pack. The ink that the non-replaceable ink pack receives from the replaceable ink pack is supplied to the printer under a pressure generated by the hydraulic head differential.

Claim (Index 2):
The liquid supply apparatus as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein\n the inkjet recording apparatus comprises a third liquid container at a position more upstream than the ejection head in a liquid supply path of the liquid supplied from the liquid supply apparatus to the ejection head, wherein the liquid from the first liquid container is suppliable to and containable in the third liquid container, and the liquid is supplied from the first liquid container to the third liquid container by the hydraulic head differential.
