<p>An ink storage media that comprises of a plurality of smaller pieces (1) such that when the smaller pieces (1) are combined, they have no particular shape prior to insertion into a container (10). When they are installed into a container's cavity, the plurality of pieces (1) conform to the inner shape of the cavity, therefore, the cavity does not need to be of any particular shape relative to the storage media. For ink jet cartridge applications where the media stores ink, the plurality of small pieces (1) performs as well as, and often better, than a single piece of media in the same application. The plurality of pieces (1) of the present invention can be made from various materials that have the potential to store fluids such as, but not limited to, foams, felts or fibers.</p> |
