Inkjet printer and ink container used therein
Abstract
An ink container (24) including a flexible pack (30) which has two opposing sheet walls (31,32). A plate-shaped spring member (40) is provided outside of the ink container (24), which extends over two opposing sheet walls (31,32) of the flexible pack (30). Due to the spring member (40), the opposing sheet walls (31,32) are biased away from each other thereby to increase the capacity of the flexible pack (30), causing a negative pressure in the flexible pack (30).
