ABSTRACT:
The connector assembly provides leak protection to enable the disconnection of a filled or partially filled ink cartridge from an ink-jet printer without leaking ink. The connector assembly includes a valve assembly having a fitment and a valve attached thereto. The valve is movable to close a passageway formed through the fitment when the ink cartridge is disconnected from a coupler connected to the printer. The coupler may be used to open the valve to permit ink flow from the ink cartridge to the printer.
