A cartridge for ink-jet printers which is capable of minimizing the capacity of a waste ink recovery member directly or indirectly without causing troubles in the printing function, an ink-jet printer provided with this cartridge, and an ink-jet printer capable of reducing the printing time without causing troubles in the printing function. A cartridge for ink-jet printers which holds materials to be printed, and which is mounted detachably on an ink-jet printer, characterized in that a cartridge case is provided therein with a waste ink recovery member for storing therein waste ink occurring in the ink-jet printer. This enables the capacity of the waste ink recovery member to be determined on the basis of the frequency in replacing the cartridge. The ink-jet printer with this cartridge mounted thereon makes a waste ink recovery member unnecessary, and enables the ink-jet printer to be miniaturized correspondingly.
