ink cartridges

Replaceable printer pods

Ink cartridges are replaceable containers that hold ink for printers.

They snap into place and feed ink to the print head.

Most home printers use cartridges rather than refillable tanks, a design that has made replacement cartridges notoriously expensive relative to their contents: The printer was cheap, but the ink cartridges cost a fortune.
