An ink delivery system for transporting thermally treated ink from different ink reservoirs to multiple print he ads of an imaging device includes a rigid injector assembly, and multiple pliable tubes attached to the injector assembly. The injector assembly includes two T-shaped members made of a conducting material, positioned one a top the of her. Each of the two members has grooves provided within it. The grooves within one of the members align with the grooves within the other member, to create channels, which carry ink to the pliable tubes. The pliable tubes are made of a flexible material, such that the lower end of each pliable tube is freely movable with respect to the injector assembly. A heating mechanism surrounds the injector assembly and the pliable tube, and remains in thermal communication with the system, to keep the ink in molten state all through the transportation path within the ink delivery system. |
