<p>A storage container for storing inkjet cartridges (16), when removed from the carriage of a printer, having a capping housing (38) for holding one or more capping means, associated with each cartridge(16), for capping the printhead of the cartridge, wherein the capping means are easily removable from the storage container by a user. The provision of manually removable capping means allows the capping means of a storage container to be matched to a particular cartridge having a specific printhead, ink formulation and lifetime. This ensures the efficacy of the cartridge is maintained during storage and prevents contamination of one cartridge by ink residue that may be left on a capping means by another cartridge, which can damage the printhead due to chemical interaction the different ink formulations. <IMAGE></p> |
