An ink receptacle includes a housing (1) having a tub-shaped bottom part (2) and a lid (3). Around the periphery of an upper edge (16) of the tub (4) extends a circumferential groove (17). A port (8) sealed by a stopper (10) is defined in the bottom (7) of the tub (4) which is adapted to be pierced by a hollow needle. A tub-shaped membrane (18) is installed in the tub (4) and has, at its edge, a bulge (20) which is fitted with radial compression in groove (17). The lid (3) is snapped onto the bottom part (2) and has an interior wall (36) whose lower edge is pressed upon the bulge (20). In addition to the tub (4), the receptacle has another chamber (26) with an absorbent filling (28) for acceptance of residual ink. The receptacle has a large volumetric capacity and is specifically suitable for plotters or printers.
