摘要： A manufacturing method provides ink-jet writing engine modules for use with a compatible hard copy engine module, a hard copy apparatus based thereon, and methods of manufacturing, operation, and use. Fluidic and electronic partitioning for ink-jet hard copy apparatus is redefined. Modular separation of a hard copy engine from a writing engine allows a replaceable writing module containing all of the key elements of the ink-jet writing system based on writing system technology requirements, particularly for those most likely to age or fail as a result of time, frequency of use, or end-user actions. The writing engine subsystem includes: one or more printing modules having print head elements with concomitant ink manifold components and ink flow and pressure regulation mechanisms; one or more ink containers—either permanent, refillable, or replaceable; one or more ink formulations; one or more ink delivery means, such as tubes and valves fluidically coupling the ink containers to the ink manifolds; service station components; and a framework to retain the elements in a unitary module, insertable cassette-like manner.

摘要： The present invention provides ink-jet writing engine modules for use with a compatible hard copy engine module, a hard copy apparatus based thereon, and methods of manufacturing, operation, and use.

Modular separation of a hard copy engine from a writing engine allows a replaceable writing module containing all of the key elements of the ink-jet writing system based on writing system technology requirements, particularly for those most likely to age or fail as a result of time, frequency of use, or end-user actions.

The present invention further provides a hard copy engine compatible with such a writing engine. The hard copy engine does not contain any components requiring direct contact with ink. Ink-wetted components are predisposed to ink-jet technological changes without affecting the electrical interface and the mechanical interface between the writing engine and the hard copy engine.

摘要： An ink replenishment system for an inkjet printing mechanism has an ink reservoir that is removably receivable by the inkjet printing mechanism to deliver an ink composition to an inkjet printhead for printing. The ink reservoir contains a large volume of colorless ink vehicle and one or more smaller containers of colorant or other ink components separate from the vehicle. At the time of desired use, a user makes a selection which activates the selected colorant and/or other ink constituent to mix with the vehicle to produce the desired ink composition. This ink replenishment system may be used in a replaceable inkjet cartridge ink dispensing system, or in an off-axis ink dispensing system, and a method of accomplishing such ink replenishment is also provided.
