In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a printing fluid container for a printing system is described. The printing fluid container includes a container body for holding printing fluid, a collar connected to the container body, and a cap removably engaging the collar. The collar has a plurality of collar teeth extending peripherally around the collar. The cap has a plurality of cap teeth extending peripherally around the cap. The cap teeth are configured for interfitment with the collar teeth such that rotation of the cap about the longitudinal axis in a first rotational direction effects cam-actuated removal of the cap from the collar.

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a technique capable of appropriately ordering an ink bottle. One embodiment of the present disclosure is a printing apparatus that includes: an ink tank that stores ink supplied from an ink bottle; and a head to which ink is supplied from the ink tank, and the printing apparatus includes a transmission unit configured to transmit status information in which at least information relating to an ink remaining amount within the ink tank is included to a server and order processing of a new ink bottle is performed based on an ink consumption amount of the ink bottle.

A print material container comprising a body, a transfer mechanism, an inner connector, and an outer connecter. The transfer mechanism is to move print material in or out of the body. The inner connecter is on a connecting side of the body, and is to couple to a first location of an image forming apparatus to provide print material to the image forming apparatus. The outer connecter is on the connecting side of the body, and is to couple to a second location of the image forming apparatus to collect or receive unutilized print material transferred or received from the image forming apparatus.

An example system includes an imaging device and a consumable storage unit. The imaging device includes at least one consumable used in operation of the imaging device and a controller. The consumable storage unit includes at least one cavity to store a replacement consumable therein. The replacement consumable is inaccessible for use in operation of the imaging device. The controller is communicatively coupled to the consumable storage unit to receive a signal indicative of presence or absence of replacement consumable in the consumable storage unit.

An example ink tank includes an ink tank and a cap assembly attached to the ink tank with a preloaded hinge. The hinge rotates the cap assembly from a closed position to an open position when the cap assembly is unlatched. The cap assembly includes a bung to seal the ink tank during a partial rotation of the cap assembly when the cap assembly is unlatched. The ink tank also includes spring-loaded linkage connected to a valve in the ink tank. An effector extending from the cap assembly engages the spring-loaded linkage when the cap assembly is latched and disengages from the spring-loaded linkage after the cap assembly is unlatched. The spring-loaded linkage opens the valve when engaged with the effector, and closes the valve when disengaged from the effector, while the bung maintains a tank seal until the internal valve is closed.
