Moreover, in the recycling process of such an ink cartridge, in order to meet the requirement of a user for a large capacity, if the ink amount of the ink cartridge is filled to the maximum capacity of the ink storage chamber, due to the gravity of the ink and the fact that the first sponge is used for a period of time, the capillary attraction of the first sponge is reduced, and the ink is not enough to be maintained in the ink storage chamber, which may cause the ink leakage from the ink outlet, and reduce the usability of the ink cartridge.
