Abstract
An ink supplying device includes: an attachment unit to which a cartridge for storing ink to be supplied to an inkjet head of a printing apparatus is attached and in which an internal flow path is formed for the ink stored in the cartridge to flow; an external tube that is connected to the internal flow path of the attachment unit and circulates the ink; and a base portion that supports the attachment unit and a part of the external tube. The attachment unit is supported by the base portion so as to be rotatable in a direction around a predetermined central axis. The external tube is disposed in a curved state from a connecting portion connected to the internal flow path to a supported portion supported by the base portion and is provided such that the curved state changes in accordance with the rotation of the attachment unit.
