Flying with Ink??

[cbrfan]

Stupid question, I know. But I want to order my water from Staples to be delivered for our trip to POR. I need a $50 purchase to get free shipping from Staples and I thought since I always seem to need ink for my printer that it would be small enough to take on the plane home and meet my $50 minimum purchase. The question is....are ink cartridges considered a liquid? I'm afraid they'll burst if I pack them in my checked luggage so thought I'd put them in my carryon if I can. Anybody know??

I think they have to go checked luggage, and I'd DEFINITELY bring along a double dose of ziploc,
I just ordered water myself from staples and considered what you mention but honestly, its 7.00 or 7.50 delivery and not worth the "worries" fpr me.
Good Luck and have a wonderful time!

I travel with ink all the time with no problems. If the ink is in its vacuum sealed pouch you should have no probelms. I put mine in my checked luggage.

If the TSA agent handlijng carry-ons at the security station does not know it has liquid inside, then you are OK. If he does, then he may have to confiscate it! Liquids are not arbitrarly banned in checked baggage.
