PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an ink tank from being removed inadvertently through a simple arrangement. SOLUTION: At the upper end 2a' on the left side wall 2a of an ink holder 2, an erroneous operation preventive protrusion 5 is provided fixedly between the latch lever 37 of a black ink tank 3 and a latch lever 47 of a color ink tank 4 such that the latch levers 37 and 47 are partitioned under a state where the ink tanks are held in the ink holder 2. The front surface 5a of the erroneous operation preventive protrusion 5 is projecting, in the X direction in the Fig. by an amount (a) from the pressing surfaces 37a and 47a of the latch levers 37 and 47 of the black ink tank 3 and the color ink tank 4 under a state being held in the ink holder 2. The upper surface 5b of the erroneous operation preventive protrusion 5 is also projecting, in the Y direction in Fig. by an amount (b) from the upper surfaces 37b and 47b of the latch levers 37 and 47.
