    摘要: An ink stick for a phase change ink jet printer is provided. The ink stick includes a first ink stick body segment having a proximal portion and a distal portion, a second ink stick body segment having a proximal portion and a distal portion, and one or more flexible strand portions. The strand portion is formed integrally with the first ink stick body segment and the second ink stick body segment, and connects the proximal portion of the first ink stick body segment and the proximal portion of the second ink stick body segment. The strand portion flexes to permit variation in the distance between the distal portion of the first ink stick body segment and the distal portion of the second ink stick body segment.

    摘要: An ink jet printer includes an ink supply system and a printhead with nozzles for ejecting ink drops. The printer determines the average size of the ejected ink drops by comparing the number of ink drops ejected in a predetermined time with the quantity of ink delivered through the printers ink supply system during that time. If the determined average ink drop size does not match predetermined ink drop size criteria, the printer adjusts the activation signals for the ink jet nozzles to alter the ink drop size. A solid ink printer determines the quantity of ink delivered through the ink supply system by counting the number of whole or partial ink sticks that pass a predetermined point in the ink supply system. The counter detects a sensing element formed on an external surface of the ink stick. Exemplary detectors include a mechanical arm, or a thermistor to detect a change in the printer melt plate temperature due to a change in the cross sectional area of an ink stick being melted.

    摘要: A drip plate that is part of a melt plate assembly in a phase change ink jet printer using solid ink. The drip plate includes an upper portion having substantially flat upper first and second opposing sides, and a lower pointed portion having substantially flat lower first and second opposing sides. The lower portion is not coplanar with the upper portion. The drip plate can be fastened to a melt plate. The ink side surface of the drip or the melt plate can include cutouts anchor tabs, and a sliver strainer located near a lower portion of the drip or melt plate. A flange may extend upwards from the upper portion of the drip plate to block ink overflow.
