An ink tank includes a reservoir body for containing an ink supply. The reservoir body has a top opening. A top cover is attached to the reservoir body to close the top opening. The top cover has an outer surface. The top cover is formed from a molded material. An RFID tag is integrated into the top cover by one of insert molding the RFID tag in the top cover when the top cover is molded or securing the RFID tag in a recessed region of the top cover.

摘要:
A method of packaging an ink tank for shipment, the method comprising: (a) sealing a first substratum to an ink tank to inhibit fluid communication between an interior of the ink tank and an external environment by way of an ink outlet port of the ink tank, the resultant seal between the first substratum and the ink tank includes at least one of an apex at least partially defined by two substantially linear segments being angled from one another between about 20 degrees to about 160 degrees and fractions separating portions of the substrate from one another; and (b) sealing a second substratum to the ink tank to inhibit fluid communication between the interior of the ink tank and the external environment by way of an ink vent of the ink tank, where the first substratum and the second substratum are removable from the ink tank.

An ink jet printhead cartridge includes a cartridge body including a base and a plurality of side walls extending upwardly from the base. A filter tower having a tower wall has an interior surface that defines a location of a tower passageway. A printhead chip assembly is attached to the base of the cartridge body in fluid communication with the tower passageway. A filter is attached to the filter tower at a distal end thereof. An ink fill access port is formed through a side wall of the plurality of sidewalls, and through the tower wall of the filter tower, to define a fluid path from the atmosphere external to the cartridge body to the tower passageway of the filter tower to facilitate the injection of ink directly into the filter tower during an ink filling operation for the ink jet printhead cartridge.
