Original Abstract Submitted
There is provided a tank for storing ink to be supplied to an ink consuming device, including: a casing; an ink chamber; an ink inlet; an ink outlet; and an atmosphere communication part, the atmosphere communication part having first and second parts, and an atmosphere port, the first part having a labyrinth channel, the atmosphere port providing fluid communication between the ink chamber and an outside of the casing through the first part and the second part. The labyrinth channel and the second part share a common wall. The common wall defines a bottom of the labyrinth channel and a bottom of the second part. The ink inlet is different from the ink outlet and is located above the ink outlet. The entire labyrinth channel overlaps the second part in a horizontal direction orthogonal to an up-down direction and a front-rear direction when viewed in the horizontal direction.
