Abstract
A safety cap for use with an ink cartridge or other fluid holding container having a nozzle extending from the dispensing end. The safety cap prevents the flow of ink out of the cartridge or, if ink escapes past the dispensing nozzle seal, prevents the flow of ink outside the cap. The cap also enables the ink cartridge to be set upright with the dispensing end down without the need for a nest or fixture to help support the cartridge.
