A configuration of an image display apparatus which can reduce a pump exclusive for solvent is provided. The image display apparatus of the present invention is provided with an ink chamber in an ink supply path from an ink container to a printhead and a solvent chamber in a solvent supply path from a solvent container to the printhead. The ink chamber and the solvent chamber are formed by dividing a liquid chamber by an elastic member (diaphragm), and volumes (capacities) of the ink chamber and the solvent chamber are changed by a pressure of the ink.

Ink driven solvent pump for an image forming apparatus

An ink jet recording device comprises a main body equipped with an ink container, an ink supply pump ink, an ink recovery pump, and a control unit. A printing head equipped with a nozzle emits ink supplied from the main body as ink particles. An electrification electrode electrifies the ink particles and a deflection electrode deflects the electrified ink particles. A gutter collects ink particles which are not used for printing. An exhaust circulation path connects the ink container and the gutter. The gutter comprises two members of an ink flow path block in which ink flows and an exhaust flow path block in which exhaust solvent vapor flows.
