Image-forming apparatus including recording head connectable to liquid container through joint, a plurality of liquid channels, and a plurality of tubes

An image-forming apparatus comprising:

• a liquid container having:
• a first storage chamber configured to store liquid therein;
• and
• a supply opening through which the liquid in the first storage chamber is allowed to flow out;
• a joint connectable to the supply opening of the liquid container;
• a tube having a first end and a second end, the first end of the tube being connected to the joint;
• a branching portion connected to the second end of the tube, the branching portion being branched into a plurality of liquid channels;
• and
• a recording head comprising a plurality of nozzle arrays, each nozzle array being an array of nozzles, each of the plurality of nozzle arrays being fluidly connected to at least one of the plurality of liquid channels, the recording head being configured to eject the liquid through each nozzle array.
