<p>An ink supply system (10) is disclosed which comprises a holder (12) for receiving an inverted ink bottle (B), an ink reservoir (22) and a flow path (14, 16) down which ink can flow from the bottle (B) to the reservoir (22). Air flows along said path from the reservoir to the bottle to replace ink which has run down the flow path. The flow path terminates intermediate the upper and lower ends of the reservoir. There is an air breather (32) and an ink delivery pipe (34) for connection to the print head of a printer. The vessel (24) has a lid (26) through which the flow pipe, the ink delivery pipe and the breather pass. In one form the holder and the lid are moulded integrally with one another.</p> |
