A fluid ejecting apparatus includes a fluid containing portion, a fluid discharging portion, a flow passage forming portion and a valve mechanism. The fluid containing portion contains fluid. The fluid discharging portion discharges the fluid. The flow passage forming portion forms a fluid flow passage that extends from the fluid containing portion to the fluid discharging portion. The valve mechanism is able to open or close the fluid flow passage. The fluid ejecting apparatus is placed in an initial state before an initial use of the fluid ejecting apparatus, wherein fluid is contained in the fluid containing portion and at least portion of the fluid flow passage from a position of the fluid containing portion to a position of the valve mechanism is filled with the fluid and the fluid flow passage is closed by the valve mechanism.
