Abstract: A filter module (38) for a continuous inkjet printer (10) comprising a filter housing (40) and a filter medium (42) fixed within the housing (40). The filter housing (40) further includes an inlet portal (44) through which ink flows into the housing under pressure and a first self-sealing valve assembly (54) disposed within the inlet portal. In addition, housing includes an outlet portal (46) through which ink flows out of the housing (40) under pressure and a second self-sealing valve assembly (56) disposed within the outlet portal (46). The first and second valve assemblies (54, 56) open when mechanically connected to an ink flow path (34) from an ink tank (18) to a print head (14), and the first and second valve assemblies (54, 56) seal closed when mechanically disconnected from the ink flow path (34).
