The utility model discloses during the use, under the drive of printer, make the ink horn produce the internal and external pressure difference, the atmosphere enters into solid storage ink chamber from gas guide hole 12, extrudes the back with the ink in the elastic printing ink adsorbate, and the ink enters into out black chamber to under the effect of atmospheric pressure, further from going out black mouthful 11 blowout, accomplish and print. As the printing proceeds, the ink in the elastic ink adsorbate gradually decreases, so that the elastic ink adsorbate returns to an unsaturated state, and at this time, the ink in the liquid ink storage cavity is adsorbed by the elastic ink adsorbate through the ink flow through hole 15 until the elastic ink adsorbate reaches a saturated state again. With the increase of the service time, the adsorption capacity of the elastic ink adsorbate is obviously reduced, at the moment, the sealing cover is opened to expose the opening on the partition plate 9, the elastic ink adsorbate is pressed by fingers at the opening, and then the elastic ink adsorbate is taken out from the solid ink storage cavity.

Preferably, the elastic ink-adsorbate is a sponge or a foamed rubber. The sponge has good chemical corrosion resistance, so that the service life of the elastic ink adsorbate can be effectively prolonged by using the sponge as the elastic ink adsorbate. Because the foamed rubber has the characteristics of oil resistance, aging resistance, chemical resistance and the like, the service life can be further prolonged by adopting the foamed rubber as the elastic ink adsorbate.
