Abstract
A pack integrally housing inks and printing media has an ink housing section arranged so as to overlap part of a printing media housing section . The ink housing section is configured to rotationally move around a rotational moving shaft so as to be opened and closed relative to the printing media housing section . On the other hand, the printing media housing section has an opening formed in a lower part thereof and in which part of housed printing media appears, thereby enabling the pack to come into contact with a sheet feeding roller of the printer when the pack is installed in a printer. Additionally, while not installed in the printer, the pack is covered with the opening and closing ink housing section , thereby enabling the printing media to be protected from dusts or the like.
