ink tank

Printer's fluid reservoir

An ink tank is a refillable reservoir that holds liquid ink in certain printers, as opposed to disposable cartridges.

Ink tank printers allow users to pour ink directly from bottles, reducing cost per page and plastic waste: We switched to an ink tank printer because we print so much.

The term also describes the tank component itself.
