An ink cartridge includes a cartridge body defining an ink chamber, an ink supply portion, an air flow path provided in the cartridge body, a cover and a memory chip. The cartridge body has an outer surface oriented in a first direction and an air communication port opened on the outer surface. The ink supply portion is provided at the cartridge body for supplying the ink stored in the ink chamber to outside. The air flow path is communicable with the ink chamber through a communication hole, and with ambient air through the air communication port to permit the ink chamber to communicate with ambient air. The cover covers the outer surface and is formed with an opening at a position aligned with the air communication port in the first direction. The memory chip is disposed on the cover to close the opening, external access to the memory chip permitting information to be electrically retrieved therefrom. |
