Abstract
An ink container opener has a base member having an opening for receiving a cap of an ink container and a holder member which is inserted over a body of the ink container. The holder and base member each has a first arm and a second arm substantially perpendicular to said first arm. The holder member first arm has an opening for receiving a second portion of the ink container. The base member opening and the holder member opening are substantially parallel to each other when the ink container is mounted within the opener. Force is applied to the holder member to separate the cap from the ink container body.
