There is provided a media pack which can be removably mounted in a printer,
and which allows a consumable article or articles contained therein for use by
the printer, and enables the printer to easily recognize whether there is a possibility
of degradation of the consumable article(s) due to a long time period elapsing
after filling or producing of the consumable article(s). A pack body contains ink
and a print medium for use by the printer, and a memory is arranged within the
pack body, for having readably written therein data related to the print medium,
which includes at least information of a year and month at which the print medium
was filled or produced.
