    摘要: An apparatus for mounting a removable ink tank having an ink output port to a printhead body that mounts a micro-fluid ejection device, the printhead body defining a filtered ink/air reservoir, includes a filter cap configured for attachment to the printhead body. The filtered ink/air reservoir is located in a region between the filter cap and the micro-fluid ejection device. The filter cap has a filter cap body configured to operably engage the ink output port of the removable ink tank and has an ink tank latching mechanism configured to secure the removable ink tank to the filter cap in a releasable manner.

    摘要: A printhead comprising a first ink reservoir in fluid communication with an outlet nozzle and downstream from a first ink filter, and a pump assembly in fluid communication with the first ink reservoir and operative to withdraw gas from the first ink reservoir and subsequently inhibit fluid communication between the withdrawn gas and the first ink reservoir. The present invention also includes method of removing gas in fluid communication with an ink reservoir, the method comprising purging gas from a gas accumulation area of an ink reservoir, where purging act includes manipulating a valve assembly downstream from an ink filter, the valve assembly operative to separate the gas accumulation area of the ink reservoir from an external environment, the valve assembly operative to facilitate unidirectional volumetric flow of the gas between the gas accumulation area and the external environment.
