Abstract

A system for splitting a printer cartridge. The system includes a cartridge holder, a cutting head, and an actuator. The cartridge holder is for holding the printer cartridge.

The actuator provides relative movement between the printer cartridge and the cutting head to affect splitting of the printer cartridge by the idling cutting wheel.
