Abstract: A stencil printing ink container comprises a cylinder, an area of one end of the cylinder, which area is other than an ink discharge opening section, being closed with an end wall, the other end of the cylinder being open, and a piston, which undergoes a sliding movement in an axial direction of the cylinder and along its inner circumferential surface. The ink container is filled with ink having a viscosity of at most 7.5 Pa·s with respect to a shear rate of 100 sec−1 and at 23° C. and satisfies a specific relationship among an inside radius of the cylinder, an inside radius of the ink discharge opening section, a length of the ink discharge opening section, a weight of the ink filled in the ink container, a sliding movement starting load of the piston, and the viscosity of the ink.
