  • Publication number: 20230104973
    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a chassis having an interior region and a first printing fluid reservoir arranged within the interior region of the chassis. The chassis may fix the first printing fluid reservoir relative to a second printing fluid reservoir. The apparatus may also include a bottle seat that may define a charging port in fluidic communication to the first printing fluid reservoir to convey refill printing fluid received at the charging port to the first printing fluid reservoir. A fluidic interface may be arranged on the chassis and fluidically coupled to the first printing fluid reservoir to convey the printing fluid outside the chassis to a print head.
