In a color inkjet printing apparatus using an ink circulation system, there is provided an inkjet printing apparatus capable of making appropriate circulation control for individual inks without resulting in cost increase. To achieve this, an inkjet printing apparatus includes a plurality of diaphragm pumps for circulating ink within a print head, a sub-tank, a supply flow path, and a collection flow path. The plurality of diaphragm pumps are configured by mounting control members of different types which can press against diaphragm units of a same type.
An inkjet printing apparatus comprising:
A control method for an inkjet printing apparatus including a print head configured to eject a first ink and a second ink, a first tank in which the first ink is contained, a second tank in which the second ink is contained, a first pump for circulating the first ink in a first circulation route including the first tank and the print head, a second pump for circulating the second ink in a second circulation route including the second tank and the print head, the control method comprising:
A print head capable of being mounted on an inkjet printing apparatus that includes a first tank in which a first ink is contained, a second tank in which a second ink is contained, a first pump for circulating the first ink in a first circulation route including the first tank, a second pump for circulating the second ink in a second circulation route including the second tank, and a switching unit for switching between a first mode for driving the first pump and the second pump and a second mode for driving the first pump and not driving the second pump, the print head comprising:
