Waste phase change ink recycling

摘要

A system of recycling waste phase change ink includes means for collecting waste phase change ink in a container (38) in a phase change ink imaging device. The waste phase change ink comprises melted phase change ink emitted by at least one print head (32) in the phase change ink imaging device. The collected waste phase change ink is removed from the phase change ink imaging device, and at least a portion of the collected waste phase change ink removed from the imaging device is added to a quantity of melted phase change ink.
