The present invention provides an outer cover to secure a printhead-ink cartridge and can be used in a segregated printhead-ink cartridge which is modified from an all-in-one printhead-ink cartridge. The inner and outer mounting and matching dimensions of the outer cover fit the outer frame edge ( 2 ) of the printhead and the printhead rack. The outer cover is an integrated cartridge holder comprising functional parts including locking tabs ( 4 a, 4 b), at least one outer cover operating handle ( 3 ), at least one printhead locking tab ( 7 ), at least one printhead operating handle ( 5 ), and at least one pressing rib ( 6 ). The outer cover ensures that the ink cartridge ( 8 ) is securely mounted in the frame of printhead ( 1 ) and that the printhead is accurately positioned in the printhead rack. When the ink is depleted only the ink cartridge inside the printhead needs to be replaced.
