Inkjet Cartridge Abstract: An automatic system for cleaning a thermal inkjet printhead. A thermal inkjet cartridge and service station are provided within a printer unit. The service station is directly beneath the cartridge when it is not printing....
Inkjet Cartridge Abstract: A system for correcting for a time of flight delay of a drop of ink from an inkjet printhead. The inventive system includes a first mechanism for scanning the printhead along a first axis at a first velocity. A control circ...
Inkjet Cartridge Abstract: An ink jet printer includes a movable carriage supported above an ink-receiving medium by a rail defining a carriage axis, with a cartridge holder mounted on said carriage having a plurality of cartridge compartments each r...
Inkjet Cartridge Abstract: A method for refilling an inkjet cartridge such that there is little or no ink leakage. Turning the cartridge upside-down, the ink reservoir vent, on the base of the cartridge, is held facing up, allows air to vent, while t...
Inkjet Cartridge Abstract: An inkjet cartridge cooldown time system is used to monitor the ink level remaining in the cartridge to provide an early warning before the cartridge is completely empty, so the cartridge may be either refilled or replaced....
Inkjet Cartridge Abstract: This disclosure describes an improved ink seal between a print cartridge body and an inkjet printhead. In a preferred embodiment, a nozzle member containing an array of orifices has a substrate, having heater elements forme...
Inkjet Cartridge Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for modifying an inkjet cartridge for the use of separable ink reservoirs including a base plate designed to be snap fitted into a hollowed out cartridge shell and lever mechanism that coope...
Inkjet Cartridge Abstract: The present invention relates generally to inkjet printing mechanisms, and more particularly to an ultrasonic method for monitoring the ink level in an ink reservoir for an ink jet cartridge. This ultrasonic method includes...
Inkjet Cartridge Abstract: An inkjet cartridge is adapted to receive ink from an external ink supply reservoir. The inkjet cartridge includes an internal reservoir, printhead, housing, and fluid interface. The housing includes a first cylindrical por...
Inkjet Cartridge Abstract: A disposable/refillable inkjet cartridge with bubble generator and an adhesively attached bubble generator vent cover. The cartridge is filed through a bubble generator opening in the cartridge bottom eliminating a separate...
Inkjet Cartridge Abstract: In a clean room cups (70) are applied to the standpipe (28) of an unfilled inkjet cartridge. A sealing cup (80) is applied to the ink outlet (46, 48, 50) of the cartridge. Inert gas is forced back and forth between the cups...
Inkjet Cartridge Abstract: In a inkjet print cartridge ink flows from the reservoir around the edge of the silicon substrate before being ejected out of the nozzles. During operation, warm thermal boundary layers of ink form adjacent the substrate an...
Inkjet Cartridge Abstract: A high-durability printhead for an ink cartridge printing system includes a substrate having ink ejectors (e.g. resistors) thereon and an orifice plate positioned above the substrate. The orifice plate (which preferably inv...
Inkjet Cartridge Abstract: A refillable cartridge for inkjet printing devices having an ink supply off-board the cartridge carrier is characterized in that it is filled with an ink supply prior to shipment and the refill opening through which repleni...
