PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ink container capable of certainly rewriting data such as an ink residual amount even in the case an inexpensive memory element to be mounted on the ink container is used, and a printing device using the ink container. SOLUTION: In an ink-jet printer 1, a low cost is achieved by using an inexpensive EEPROM for executing only the sequential access as a memory element 80 mounted on ink cartridges 107K and 107F. In addition, in a memory cell 81 of the memory element 80, a first memory region for rewriting the ink residual amount in the ink cartridges 107K and 107F is provided so as to be accessed prior to a second memory region for storing the data only to be read out.
