Abstract: An ink supply bottle from which ink is to be supplied to a printer includes: an ink bag that contains the ink; a bottle unit that houses the ink bag and that has a bottleneck with an exit opening; and an ink conduit member disposed in the bottleneck of the bottle. The ink conduit member is in contact with an inner side of the ink bag and seals an opening of the ink bag to form an ink outlet. The ink bag is made of an elastic or stretchable material.

Abstract: A cartridge mountable on a liquid ejection device is provided. The liquid ejection device includes a mounting section, an air supplying portion including an air supplying passage, and a detection section configured to detect an error when a predetermined air pressure is not reached even if air is supplied from the air supplying portion. The cartridge includes a case including a communication portion and a first leakage limiting portion that limits leakage of air supplied from the air supplying portion into an atmosphere. The communication portion includes a second leakage limiting portion that limits leakage of the air supplied from the air supplying portion into the case through the communication portion.

Abstract: In a state in which a cartridge body is not inserted in a cartridge receiving section provided on a printer side, an electronic component mounting section is held at an initial position to the cartridge body.
