ABSTRACT:
A method of using a container for a phase change ink cartridge includes inserting the cartridge in the container, transporting the container with the inserted cartridge to an ink jet printer, taking the cartridge out of the container and operatively connecting the cartridge to the printer, and operatively connecting the container to the printer to enable collecting of waste ink produced by the printer in the container. A container for a phase change ink cartridge is also provided for use in a phase change ink jet printer. The container has an inner shape and an outer shape. The inner shape constitutes a fitting enclosure for the cartridge and the outer shape provides a profile for operatively engaging a matching profile of the ink jet printer hardware.
