<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a container and an ink pack for a photo-curable ink, capable of preserving the photo-curable ink including metal particles for a long period and stably. <P>SOLUTION: The container 10 for the photo-curable ink is characterized in that it is such a container that stores the photo-curable ink 100 including the metal particles, a polymerizable compound, and a photo-polymerization initiator, wherein the container has an exterior cladding having a first space 21 capable of storing the photo-curable ink 100 and a second space 22 adjoining the first space 21 through a barrier 4 with oxygen permeability and storing an oxygen-containing gas therein, and the exterior cladding 2 does not substantially permeate steam. As dry oxygen including no steam is continuously fed thereby from the second space 22 to the first space 21, a polymerization inhibiting effect with oxygen is continuously exhibited, so that the polymerization reaction of the photo-curable ink 100 can be prevented from occurring for a long period of time, and moisture absorption of the photo-curable ink 100 can be prevented from occurring. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
