Abstract: A print liquid supply apparatus or interface structure to be connected to a print system comprises a liquid channel, liquid interface and integrated circuit contact pads.

Abstract: In one embodiment a print liquid supply apparatus is provided to supply liquid to a liquid needle of a receiving station comprising a liquid container including an at least partially collapsible liquid reservoir an interface structure at a side of the container, including a liquid channel that includes a reservoir connecting portion that fluidically connects to the reservoir and a needle receiving portion to allow the liquid to flow from the reservoir to the needle; a liquid interface of the liquid channel adjacent the needle receiving portion and at a distance from the reservoir connecting portion, a front wall and/or edge adjacent the liquid interface including a push area which is disposed between the liquid interface and the container; and at least one key pen base and key pen protruding from the base in a direction parallel and opposite to the needle insertion direction; and a contact pad array next to the needle receiving liquid channel portion.

Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a print liquid supply is described. The print liquid supply includes a reservoir for holding a supply of print liquid. The reservoir includes a pliable body having a front face and a back face. The print liquid supply also includes a spout affixed to the reservoir. The spout is located at a corner of the front face offset from a centerline of the front face.

Abstract: An interface structure connectable to a separate liquid reservoir, to connect that liquid reservoir to a receiving station, comprising a liquid interface to fluidically connect to at least one liquid needle of the receiving station, a liquid channel, to fluidically connect the liquid interface to the reservoir, a support wall supporting an integrated circuit laterally next to the liquid channel, the integrated circuit having contact pad contact surfaces, and a front push area adjacent the liquid, the front push area terminating at a front edge that defines a profile height of the interface structure, between said front edge and an opposite distal edge.

Abstract: A print liquid supply interface structure is provided, to fluidically connect a fluid supply container to a receiving station, comprising a liquid channel having at least one liquid channel wall, the liquid channel including a liquid interface, and at least one key pen next and parallel to the needle receiving portion of the liquid channel, protruding from a base over more than 10 millimeters. In another example a key pen structure is provided. In yet another example an interface structure for receiving a separate key pen is provided.

Abstract: A fluid barrier may include a collar coupled to a first end of a fluidic channel of a fluidic interface wherein the collar comprises a lip to prevent separation of the fluidic channel from a pliable fluidic container. A printing fluid supply may include an at least partially collapsible fluid bag; and a substantially rigid fluidic interface having a fluidic channel fluidically coupled to the fluid bag and a collar coupled to the fluidic channel forming a fluid barrier between the fluid bag and the fluidic interface.

Abstract: A print liquid supply apparatus comprising a container to hold print liquid and an interface structure to fluidically connect the container to a receiving station wherein the interface structure projects outwards with respect to the container and comprises a liquid interface to fluidically connect to a corresponding fluidic interface of the receiving station and a liquid channel fluidically connecting the container and the liquid interface.

Abstract: One example provides a replaceable cartridge for user-installation in a printer system. The replaceable cartridge includes a cartridge body, a cartridge lid and a lid manifold. The cartridge lid covers the cartridge body and includes a lid aperture to supply printing fluid into the cartridge body. The lid manifold is mounted to the cartridge lid and includes a lid manifold input port to be fluidly connected to and disconnected from a carriage manifold of the printer system. The state of the fluid connection depends on a pivot position of the carriage manifold, if the replaceable cartridge is installed in the printer system.

Abstract: Disclosed is a fluidic coupling that releasably and fluidically connects to the inlet port of an inkjet print cartridge. The fluidic coupling acts as a seal for the print cartridge and a means of lubricating and protecting the inlet port from drying, leaking ink, and air ingestion while the print cartridge is in transit and in storage. The fluidic coupling also provides an auxiliary ink reservoir for the print cartridge. The fluidic coupling further provides an ink conduit to the printhead from an external ink supply. First first and second end portions define an internal chamber, the internal chamber providing an internal fluid conduit for ink between the first and second ends of the body; and a fluidic coupling affixed to the first end of the body and in fluidic communication with the internal chamber.

Abstract: Described is an ink delivery system for an inkjet printing system including a housing; a printhead fixed to the housing for ejecting droplets of ink on media; a regulator located within the housing; a source of ink for replenishing the printhead; and an ink passageway for connecting the source of ink and the valve inlet.
