This article discusses the difference between an ink cartridge and an ink tank on the Color StyleWriter 2400.

The Color StyleWriter 2400 supports two different ink cartridges depending on the type of printing desired. The High-Performance Ink Cartridge (M3240G/A) is a one-piece assembly that contains the printhead and a black-only ink container.
