Abstract

A system for supplying ink to a composite printing head (12) has a first compartment (20A) in fluid flow communication with a first set of orifices (14, 12A), and a second compartment (20B) in fluid flow communication with a second set of orifices (14, 12B). The first and second compartments (20A, 20B) are configured to allow the egress of ink to maintain the level of ink therein at a desired fill height. A reservoir (24) is also provided for supplying ink to the first and second compartments (20A, 20B).
