Abstract
A printing-fluid container includes a reservoir configured to hold printing fluid. The reservoir includes a substantially planar front surface and a bottom surface defining a well in a low portion of the reservoir. A cross-sectional area of the reservoir in the well is less than a cross-sectional area of the reservoir above the well. The printing-fluid container also includes a fluid interface on the front surface adjacent the well, which is configured to releasably receive a fluid connector to laterally draw printing fluid from the well.
