A liquid delivery system for delivering inks of three or more different colors or densities or dye-forming reactive components comprising multiple liquid reservoirs, liquid bladders, and valves that permit (a) total interruption of liquid flow, (b) liquid flow from reservoirs to bladders and (c) flow of liquid from bladders to printhead, the latter adapted to handle toners of three different colors, optical densities or chemical composition. The valves and ink flow channels are arranged in an upper manifold, gasket and lower manifold, all of which serve as support for the bladders and dimpler system.
