A replaceable cartridge that collects excess ink from printhead cleaning cycles, spitting, and other maintenance operations.

In-Depth Explanation

The maintenance cartridge has a limited capacity and must be replaced periodically. The printer tracks its fill level and will stop printing when it's full. Using a full maintenance cartridge can cause ink overflow inside the printer, potentially damaging components. Some models display a percentage indicator for remaining capacity. Always have a spare maintenance cartridge on hand to avoid unexpected downtime.
