Ink container for compact supply station

摘要

The present disclosure relates to an ink container for providing ink to an ink jet printing system. The ink container includes an outer shell, the outer shell defining an elongate opening therein. Also included is a chassis having a fluid outlet and air inlet defined therein. The fluid outlet is in communication with an ink reservoir that is fluidically coupled to the chassis. The chassis has a shape that is complementary with the elongate opening of the outer shell. With the chassis inserted into the outer shell pressurized air provided at the air inlet pressurizes the outer shell that in turn pressurizes the ink reservoir to provide a source of pressurized ink at the fluid outlet.
