Abstract:
An ink-jet recording apparatus, comprising: a recording head (7) which ejects ink to perform recording; and an ink-extracting member (12; 112) which has an ink-extract passage (92) as an inner passage formed therein and which is to be removably connected to an ink cartridge (1; 100) that stores ink for extracting the ink from the ink cartridge to supply the ink to the recording head. The ink-extracting member is to be connected to the ink cartridge including an ink-outlet valve member (32; 132) which shuts off a flow of the ink from the ink cartridge and which establishes a state in which the ink can be extracted from the ink cartridge by the ink-extracting member when the ink-outlet valve member is pressed by the ink-extracting member which abuts on the ink-outlet valve member upon connection of the ink-extracting member to the ink cartridge. The ink-extracting member further includes, at an end portion thereof, an end face (80a, 80b, 80c, 80d) which abuts on the ink-outlet valve member, and at least one ink-extract communication opening (81a, 81b, 81c, 81d) which is formed at the end portion and which is formed in a peripheral wall of the ink-extracting member, so as to communicate with the ink-extract passage.
