Abstract
An ink container capable of being simply mounted in a holder with a small working space includes a rib-like guide portion for determining a mounting path during mounting of the ink container in a head cartridge at a side surface. The head cartridge includes a holder portion provided with a sliding projection which slides in contact with the guide portion. When the ink container is mounted, a user moves the ink container so that a first inclined portion first contacts the sliding projection and thereafter the ink contained is moved in an obliquely below direction toward the head cartridge while sliding the sliding projection along the first inclined portion.
