DEGASSING INK IN DIGITAL PRINTERS

摘要

A method of degassing ink in a printer having an ink storage tank containing a body of ink having an ink surface is described. The method comprises causing the body of ink to move in the storage tank, so as to increase the surface area of the ink surface in comparison with a flat ink surface that an equivalent stationary body of ink would have in the storage tank, and extracting gas from the ink body.
