PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a good liquid container capable of preventing degrading of a degree of deaeration of a liquid in the liquid container by assuring superior detection accuracy of a liquid. SOLUTION: This liquid container 1 comprises an ink pack 7, an ink detection section 9 having a gas-barrier property lower than that of the ink pack 7, and an ink outlet 11 for introducing ink in the ink pack 7 to a print head through the ink detection section 9. The liquid container 1 is filled with the ink which is made to be in a high deaeration condition beforehand. An opening/closing valve 37 is provided in a fluid channel 9a between the ink detection section 9 and the ink pack 7. When the ink is not introduced from the ink pack 7, the opening/closing valve 37 is closed. As a result, flowing of a liquid or a gas into the ink pack 7 from the ink detection section 9 is blocked, thereby preventing the degrading of the degree of the deaeration.
