  • Patent number: 10780704
    Abstract: A print head assembly for an ink-jet printer operable with a continuous ink supply system is disclosed, with an ink compartment, a foam insert, an ink fill port, and a spacer. The ink fill port receives ink fed from an external supply and to be printed by the print head assembly. The ink compartment stores the ink to be printed. The foam insert is in the ink compartment and takes up the ink to be stored. The spacer extends into the ink compartment, provides for the formation of a clearance between the foam insert and the ink fill port and surrounds the ink fill port either completely or with one or more gaps having a gap width. The gap width of none of the gaps presents an aperture angle of more than 25% of 36° with respect to a center of the ink fill port.

  • Patent number: 10781228
    Abstract: An example of a fusing agent includes a metal bis(dithiolene) complex, a thiol surfactant, a polar aprotic solvent, and a balance of water. In an example of a method of making the fusing agent, the metal bis(dithiolene) complex is exposed to an aqueous solution including a reducing agent and a thiol surfactant to form a reduced metal bis(dithiolene) complex and to dissolve the reduced metal bis(dithiolene) complex in the aqueous solution. The aqueous solution is incorporated into a vehicle including a water soluble organic solvent and an additive selected from the group consisting of an emulsifier, a surface tension reduction agent, a wetting agent, a scale inhibitor, an anti-deceleration agent, a chelating agent, an antimicrobial agent, and a combination thereof. The fusing agent may be utilized in a three-dimensional printing method and/or incorporated into a three-dimensional printing system.

  • Patent number: 10780696
    Abstract: A method of forming a printbar module may include providing a printed circuit board (PCB) having a recess extending partially through the PCB and a dam surrounding the recess. An adhesive material may be applied to the recess and a printhead die sliver may be positioned in the recess. The printhead die sliver may be bonded with the PCB and the printhead die sliver and the PCB may be encapsulated with a molding compound. In response to encapsulating, a slot, extending through the PCB and the adhesive material may be formed, wherein the slot is in fluidic communication with fluid feed holes of the printhead die sliver to provide direct fluidic communication without fan-out.
