Problems solved by technology

Such printheads or cartridges generally have a finite working life.
For some users this can be a difficult procedure.
In some cases, users install cartridges in printers without first removing the protective tape, either because they forget to do so, or because they do not appreciate that it should be removed prior to installation.
If a cartridge is installed without the protective tape having first been removed, the cartridge and / or the printer will not function and may be damaged.

Abstract

A package adapted to contain a hard copy consumable, the package comprising a protection element, the element being connected to the package and having a surface adapted to be removably connected to a portion of the consumable, such that the element is arranged to be removed from the portion of the consumable by the action of removing the consumable from the package.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates generally to hardcopy consumables, particularly but not exclusively to inkjet printer cartridges, and to apparatus and methods for packaging and storing such consumables. BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION [0002] As is well known in the art, conventional inkjet printers generally employ one or more inkjet printheads, which eject drops of ink onto a page or sheet of print media. [0003] Such printheads generally form part of a cartridge that contains a supply of ink for use with the associated printheads. Such printheads or cartridges generally have a finite working life. In order to prolong the usable life of printers that employ these printheads or cartridges, they are usually made to be replaceable. [0004] In order to avoid blockages of ink that might occur in the ejection nozzles and / or ink leaking out of the ink ejection nozzles of replacement printheads or print cartridges before it is installed in a printer, an adhesive tape ...
