A new style of ink cartridge cover for the budget minded. These cover the ink outlet PAD and prevent drying out between uses. If you store them with ink inside, store them with the pads down as in the third picture so the pads stay moist. They do have a very tight fit but I do not claim them to be leakproof. The orange clips have PADS and they will be better at sealing. They are perfectly made for the opening of the CLI-42 / CLI-8 / CLI-65 / BCI-6. They may also fit on the list i have added below which are mostly CLI-8 printers.

For the same price as my orange clips, I give you double the number of pieces.

These are black plastic. 16 in a lot. But 1 lot, get 16, buy 2 lots, get 32 etc.

Handy to have around.

These clips MAY ALSO work on some HP ink cartridges - HP178, HP364, HP564, HP862, HP920 - haven't tried them and no guarantees but the cartridges have the exact same dimensions as CLI-42 CLI-8. If they don't, then I will process a full refund.The list below includes all printers that use CLI-42 - CLI-8 - CLI-65 - BCI-6 cartridges and can use these storage clips. Also, some specific HP Printers (untested)
