PRINTING SYSTEMS UTILIZING INKS WITH HIGH SOLIDS CONTENT

摘要

A printing system utilizing inks with high solids content includes a mixing unit for receiving a high solids content ink and producing a concentrated ink and an interim tank for receiving the concentrated ink from the mixing unit. An ink tank receives the concentrated ink from the interim tank and produces printing ink. An liquid electro-photographic print engine receives the printing ink from the ink tank. A fluid return line is connected between the mixing unit and at least one of the interim tank and the ink tank, the mixing unit receiving fluid from at least one of the interim tank and the ink tank and mixing the fluid with the high solids content ink. A method for liquid electro photographic printing using high solid content ink is also provided.
