"Cartridge" refers to a part that can be taken out and put in its own case. They became popular because of the Commodore 64 and other early home computers and TV games. The main benefit of cartridges is that they make it easy to move software from one type of media to another. It also helps keep the software in a form that is strong and hard to break.
All home video game systems in the 1980s and 1990s were based on cartridges. As technology improved in the late 1990s, CDs became a cheaper way to store data, so hardware companies switched from cartridges to game systems that use CDs. This was because a CD-ROM was less expensive and had more room to store things.
Cartridges are most often used in printers these days. They are put in a larger container that has ports for both going in and coming out. This container has around 13,500 fibres and 16KB of space for storing information about the table of contents and where files are. About 25 MB of data that is not compressed can fit on each cartridge.
There are different kinds of cartridges, such as inkjet cartridges, laser cartridges, and toner cartridges. These cartridges already have ink in them, but there are also some new cartridges on the market that can be refilled. These are called remanufactured cartridges.
There are many different kinds of remanufactured cartridges, so care should be taken to make sure that refilling them is done in a safe way. The most common problem with refilled cartridges is that they can leak if they aren't filled properly. If remanufactured cartridges leak inside the foil package, they should be taken back to the store where they were bought.
