    摘要: An ink supply for an ink-jet printer is provided with a main reservoir, which is typically maintained at ambient pressure. The main reservoir is coupled to a variable volume chamber via a one-way valve which allows the flow of ink from the reservoir to the chamber and prevents the flow of ink from the chamber to the reservoir. The chamber is coupled to a fluid outlet which is normally closed to prevent the flow of ink. However, when the ink supply is installed in a printer, the fluid outlet establishes a fluid connection between the chamber and the printer. The chamber is part of a pump provided with the ink supply that can be actuated to supply ink from the reservoir to the printer.

    摘要: One aspect of the present invention is a replaceable ink supply cartridge for providing a pressurized supply of ink to an ink-jet printhead of an ink-jet printer. The replaceable ink supply cartridge includes an activation portion for receiving a linear actuator associated with the ink-jet printer. The linear actuator has an activated state and an inactivated state. In the activated state the linear actuator is biased toward an extended position into engagement with the activation portion. In the inactivated state the linear actuator is in a retracted position. The ink supply cartridge portion provides a source of pressurized ink in response to the activated state of the linear actuator. Wherein in response to the inactivated state of the linear actuator the source of pressurized ink is non-pressurized.
