Abstract: Disclosed is a system for priming a fluid jetting device. The system includes a fluid trench configured within a fluid jetting chip of the fluid jetting device and at least one first channel fluidly coupled to the fluid trench. The at least one first channel extends vertically between the fluid jetting chip and a mounting unit adapted to support the fluid jetting chip, and is adapted to supply a priming fluid to the fluid trench. The system further includes at least one second channel fluidly coupled to the fluid trench. The at least one second channel extends vertically between the fluid jetting chip and the mounting unit, and is adapted to drain-out the priming fluid from the fluid trench. Further disclosed are systems for priming a fluid jetting device, in accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

Abstract: Ink delivery systems achieve balanced ink flow by positioning two or more ink chambers around ink ejection mechanisms in a printhead. A plurality of pie-shaped ink chambers may be arranged in a circle above an ink ejection mechanism, which provides short ink paths from each ink chamber, and ink paths having approximately the same length. This fosters even ink flow rates and equal pressure drop/loss of ink supplies, thereby improving ink feeds to a printhead and providing improved jetting efficiency and printhead performance.
