Abstract: An ink tank for an ink delivery system includes: a first ink chamber having an ink inlet port and an ink outlet port; a second ink chamber having a gas port open to atmosphere; and a diffusion tube interconnecting the first and second ink chambers. The first ink chamber has a smaller volume than the second ink chamber and the diffusion tube is configured to minimize diffusion of air from the second chamber to the first chamber.
