An ink tank in which an air communication passage and a pressure regulator
valve passage are formed by covering grooves, etc., with a film is
fabricated in a simple manufacturing process. Specifically, an atmosphere
communication hole and a major part of an air communication passage are
formed in the same surface on which a film for forming a valve passage is
attached. By virtue of this, the process of attaching a major part of the
air communication passage film and the process of attaching the valve
film can be performed in a single process step. This simplifies the
process of attaching the films.
