ABSTRACT:
A packaging arrangement includes an ink cartridge. The ink cartridge includes a case including a front face and a rear face opposite the front face, an ink supply portion positioned at the front face of the case, an air intake portion positioned at the case, and a movable member configured to move between a first position and a second position relative to the case. The case defines an ink chamber therein. The ink cartridge also includes a resilient member having a first end which is coupled to the front face of the case and a second end which is coupled to the movable member, and the resilient member is configured to expand and to contract to move the movable member relative to the case between the first position and the second position. The packaging arrangement also includes a packaging member enclosing the ink cartridge. Moreover, each of a pressure inside the ink chamber and a pressure inside the packaging member is less than a pressure outside the packaging member.
