Abstract: A system for supporting print media includes a support manifold, a first media support plate configured to be supported by the support manifold, and a second media support plate configured to be interchanged with the first media support plate and supported by the support manifold in place of the first media support plate. The first media support plate is configured to support print media of a first size, and the second media support plate is configured to support print media of a second size different from the first size.

Abstract: An ink collection system includes at least one target surface and a fluid supply system in communication with the at least one target surface. The fluid supply system is configured to create a film of fluid across at least a portion of the at least one target surface, and wherein the film of fluid flushes away ink that impinges on the at least one target surface.

Abstract: An ink cartridge has a first portion having a plurality of chambers formed therein; a second portion attached to the first portion and having at least one opening into each of the plurality of chambers, and wherein for each opening the second portion further includes at least a portion of a fluid directing channel; and a third portion attached to the second portion and configured to receive a plurality of fluids and direct each of the plurality of fluids into one of the respective fluid directing channels such that each of the plurality of fluids flows into a respective one of the plurality of chambers.

Abstract: In one embodiment a media ejection system is disclosed for a printer having a stationary print head and a moveable shuttle configured to hold print media via vacuum pressure while moving the print media past the print head. The media ejection system includes a vacuum release valve, actuable to release vacuum pressure in the shuttle, and a lifter, coupled to the vacuum release valve. The lifter is actuable to mechanically lift the print media from the shuttle, and to simultaneously open the vacuum release valve. In another embodiment, a method for ejecting print media from a moveable shuttle is disclosed. The method includes mechanically lifting the print media from the shuttle and simultaneously substantially equalizing pressure above and below the print media.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a media ejection system and method are disclosed.
