Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de dosage d'encres, consistant à fournir de l'encre dans un récipient à parois souples ; à disposer le récipient dans un système de dosage comprenant un réservoir dans lequel sont versées des doses d'encre ; à placer l'encre dans un récipient à parois souples comportant des moyens d'ouverture du récipient ; à supporter le récipient, plein ou partiellement rempli, dans le système de dosage ; à ouvrir le récipient par les moyens d'ouverture pour former une ouverture ; et à exercer une pression à l'aide de moyens de pression et d'écrasement contre les parois du récipient, contre ladite ouverture. L'action combinée de compression comprime et déforme les parois souples du récipient et pousse l'encre contenue dans le récipient vers l'ouverture, par où sort une dose d'encre.
