摘要： An ink supply system for an ink jet printer, particularly a continuous ink jet printer, has a manifold assembly of two parts that are brought together at interfacing surfaces. At least one of the surfaces has a plurality of ink flow channels for conveying ink around an ink circuit between components. The other of the interfacing surfaces is configured to close and seal the channels. A plurality of ports is provided in fluid communication with the channels, the circuit components being connectable to the ports. The manifold assembly provides for a compact and neat arrangement free of many tubes and pipes. The lower number of connections significantly reduces the risk of leakage.

摘要： The present invention provides a method of printing an image, and an apparatus for performing the method, the method comprising the steps of: (a) generating print data representing the image to be printed; (b) dividing the print data into a plurality of sub-elements; (c) writing each print data sub-element into respective memory means locations; (d) sequentially reading the memory means; and (e) printing an iamb by activating a print valve in accordance with print data sub-element read from the memory means. The method enables printing heads to be slanted such that different print heights can be obtained whilst still printing in a vertical orientation.
