Provided is an ink container suitable for forming a stable high-quality print image and obtaining stable operation of a printing device by enabling precipitates of coarse-grained ink etc. standing in an ink container body to be left in the ink container body and by eliminating troubles due to the supply of such precipitates of coarse-grained ink etc. to the printing device. A region for residual ink liquid 4 and a sheet-entry preventing member 6 as shape retaining means 5 are provided on the bottom 2 a side of a bag-like ink container body 2 formed from a flexible sheet. The region for residual ink liquid 4 is disposed in a position lower than one end 3 a of an ink supply opening part 3 fixed to the ink container body 2 . When the sheet composing the ink container body 2 moves, the sheet-entry preventing member 6 prevents the sheet from entering the region for residual ink liquid 4 , thereby keeping the shape and volume of the region part for residual ink liquid 4.
