Abstract
An ink storing apparatus for an ink jet printing device includes a first case for storing a plurality of colored inks and a second case for storing black ink and having a receptacle for accepting waste ink from the printing device. Both cases are detachable from the printing device so that the first case and the printing device may remain connected when the second case needs to be replaced to replenish the black ink supply and provide a new waste ink receptacle.
