  • Patent number: 6942324
    Abstract: A fluid delivery system of the invention comprises one or more intercoupled cartridge assembles. Each cartridge assembly comprises a plurality of interconnected cartridges, each comprising a reservoir for holding jetting fluid and an ink jet print head operatively connected to the reservoir. Each cartridge assembly is interconnected by a first interconnection assembly and a second interconnection assembly. The first interconnection assembly maintains the plurality of interconnected cartridges at a negative pressure. The second interconnection assembly maintains at least an essentially equal level of jetting fluid within each of the reservoirs of the plurality of cartridges. Jetting fluid is replenished in the plurality of interconnected cartridges by replenishing jetting fluid in a selected cartridge and using the second interconnection assembly to distribute the jetting fluid among the reservoirs of the interconnected cartridges.

  • Patent number: 6789876
    Abstract: An improved, large-format digital inkjet print engine that includes a group of co-operating print engine subassemblies that embody various novel elements that both discreetly and cumulatively advance the current art. The group of subassemblies and sensors cooperate to produce high quality graphic images using a plurality of different colors of ink and different types of print media at speeds several times faster than similar conventional inkjet printers. In addition, the use of cooperating elements permit the manufacture of complex, large-format digital color inkjet print engines that are less expensive to fabricated, operated, and serviced. The present invention finds use in large-format digital color printing and imaging, where successful repeatable printing requires precise placement of droplets of ink, toner or other marking material on a print medium such as paper, vinyl, film, or similar substrate.
