    摘要: A printer consumable includes an ink bag, and a supply of ink included within the ink bag, and optionally a memory device and a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor communicates an ink bag pressure loss measurement through a communication means to an ink delivery system. The communication means uses the ink bag pressure loss measurement to determine a minimum pressure to print. In one embodiment, the communication means periodically polls the pressure sensor to acquire the ink bag pressure loss measurement and records the measurement on the memory device of the printer consumable. When the communication means receives a print job, the measurement is acquired from the memory device to determine the minimum pressure to print before the print job is processed.

    摘要: A packaged, degassed printer ink supply is provided, the ink supply including ink-containment vessel, a substantially degassed volume of ink contained within the ink-containment vessel, and a removable, sealable outer protective container having a low permeability to air and surrounding at least part of the ink-containment vessel to define an atmosphere between the ink-containment vessel and the outer protective container. The atmosphere between the ink-containment vessel and outer protective container is modified relative to ambient atmosphere outside of the outer protective container to decrease a diffusion rate of at least one component gas of air into the ink-containment vessel.

A pressure sensor measures a pressure of liquid ink disposed in the flow path and a volume detector detects a volume of liquid ink delivered through the flow path. In addition, a leak indicator communicates with the pressure sensor and the volume detector, and indicates an ink container leak based on the pressure of liquid ink disposed in the flow path and the volume of liquid ink delivered through the flow path.
