Abstract:
To enhance the convenience of replacing ink tanks while suppressing a manufacturing cost low by a simple designing and manufacturing process without using a plurality of kinds of ink tanks.
A pair of standard ink tanks 201 are set and coupled to both sides of an ink tank coupling member 90, which are mutually fixed by a loop- shaped uniaxially drawn thermal shrinkage film 101, thereby constituting a large capacity ink tank module 205. A black ink is stored in the ink tank module 205, which is mounted to a mounting region 1 of a holder 30. Standard ink tanks 201 in which inks of cyan, magenta and yellow colors are stored respectively are mounted to mounting regions 2-4 of the holder 30 respectively.
