ABSTRACT:
A storage container for storing inkjet cartridges, when the cartridges are removed from the carriage of the printer, having a housing for simultaneously holding a plurality of inkjet cartridges and associated capping means. Preferably the cartridge housing has a plurality of compartments each having a number of biasing means for holding a cartridge against datums in the compartment. A set of components for holding a plurality of inkjet cartridges comprising a first cartridge holder adapted to be mounted on a carriage of an inkjet printer, and a second cartridge holder adapted to be mounted in a storage container for storing inkjet cartridges. Apart from mounting adaptations, the first and second inkjet cartridge holders comprise substantially common structural features so that cartridges are stored in substantially the same manner in which they are mounted on the carriage of a printer. This ensures that their efficacy will be maintained during storage and also enables components from the printer to be reused so that the design and manufacturing costs for the storage container are reduced.
