摘要： A replaceable ink supply module which provides replenishment of an inkjet printhead includes a collapsible bag, an enclosure box, a connective tube, and an on/off valve. These four components are incorporated into a composite sealed system which remains intact during shipment, storage, installation and operation. The collapsible bag is placed inside of the protective enclosure box and has an end-connect outlet permanently attached to one end of the connective tube. The other end of the connective tube carries a permanently attached on/off valve designed for periodic engagement with an inlet valve of an inkjet printhead.

摘要： An inkjet printing device comprises a platen on which a printing zone is defined, a carriage, onto which at least a printhead is mounted, slidable along the printing zone near the platen, a service station, located in a service zone separated from the printing zone, a housing protecting and enclosing the printing zone and the servicing zone, and a device, for example a fan, for producing an air flow within the housing. A substantially constant air path is defined within the housing of the device through which the air flow is allowed to pass during its operation. A method for reducing ink aerosol in such a device, during its operation, comprises the following steps: producing an air flow within the housing, and forcing the air flow to pass through a substantially constant air path defined within the housing.
