Abstract

Système d'alimentation d'encre pour imprimantes, applicable à des imprimantes avec des têtes (5) de projection d'encre, comprenant un réservoir étanche (3) dans lequel est générée une dépression telle que la pression de l'encre dans les têtes (5) de projection soit inférieure à la pression extérieure, évitant ainsi le gouttage de l'encre dans les sorties desdites têtes (5).

Figure imgaf001
An ink supply system for printers, applicable to printers with ink projection heads (5), comprising a sealed reservoir (3) in which a depression is generated such as the pressure of the ink in the heads (5) projection is less than the external pressure, thus avoiding dripping of the ink in the outputs of said heads (5).
