The invention discloses a negative 
pressure system for a 
nozzle of an ink-jet printer and a negative 
pressure control method thereof. The negative 
pressure system comprises a negative pressure cavity, a 
vacuum pump, an auxiliary ink box and a 
control system, wherein the negative pressure cavity is connected with the 
vacuum pump, an air source and the auxiliary ink box through a plurality of two-position three-way valves respectively; the negative pressure cavity is also connected with a negative 
pressure sensor for detecting negative pressure in the negative pressure cavity; and the 
control system controls the open or the close of each two-position three-way valve and the power-on or the power-off of the 
vacuum pump according to signals fed back by the negative 
pressure sensor so as to control the negative pressure in the negative pressure cavity accurately, realize continuous, stable, quick and proper ink supply to the 
nozzle by the auxiliary ink box, and improve the working stability of the printer. The negative 
pressure system is also connected with an ink pressing 
system in series through the two-position three-way valves, and the ink pressing 
system comprises a pressure pump and a flow limiting valve; and when the 
nozzle is blocked, the nozzle is communicated with the ink pressing 
system by controlling the two-position three-way valves, the nozzle is dredged by ink pressing, and air is released after the ink pressing is completed so as to prevent other nozzles from dropping ink, and improve the printing quality of the printer.
