Abstract
An ink cartridge has a body having a stepped configuration including a first top wall and a second top wall, wherein the second top wall is lower than the first top wall. A lid has a first position selectively secured to the first top wall and a second portion is secured to the second top wall which forms a ledge for removing the cartridge from a printer. Alternately, a tab extends from a surface of the lid for removing the cartridge from a printhead. Another alternative is indentations formed in the lid and side walls of the cartridge for manually gripping the cartridge for removal from a printhead.
