Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0764538A2] A fluid system for an ink jet printhead comprises fluid paths, fluidic sensors, fluidic valves, and fluidic connectors. A fluid manifold integrates this collection of individual components, thereby eliminating free-hanging fluid connections, valves, and printhead sensing functions. The present invention integrates all umbilical to printhead fluid paths, connections, valves and sensors into a single compact, easily tested, assembled, and serviced unit. <IMAGE>
