A print material storage container has: a substrate on which an electric circuit having terminals is provided; a fixing portion on which the substrate can be mounted by re-fixing; and a fixing member that fixes the fixing portion and a non-terminal portion, which is formed by excluding the terminals from the substrate, to each other. The non-terminal portion includes a re-fixed portion, which can be re-fixed to the fixing portion by the fixing member.

Print material storage container

A liquid container refillable with liquid to be supplied to a printer includes a bag; a liquid supplying port member having a liquid supplying port; a liquid supply flow passage provided inside the liquid supplying port member; a liquid filling flow passage branching off from the liquid supply flow passage; and a communication port provided inside the liquid supplying port member and being in communication with the liquid filling flow passage and facing an internal surface of the bag. The bag is fixed to the liquid supplying port member such that a gap is formed between the bag and the peripheral portion of the communication port due to a flow of the liquid from the liquid supply flow passage to the liquid filling flow passage, the gap being in communication with the liquid containing portion through the communication port.

Liquid container

A liquid ejecting apparatus includes an attachment section to which a liquid storage container having a storage chamber storing a liquid and a communication path communicating with the storage chamber is attached, and a liquid ejecting head configured to eject the liquid from nozzles. The attachment section includes an inlet through which the liquid from the attached liquid storage container flows, a protrusion having a connection port, a seal provided around the protrusion, and an air communication path communicating with the connection port and an air communication port that communicates with the air. The connection port enters the communication path of the attached liquid storage container, and the seal comes into contact with the liquid storage container attached to the attachment section.
