<p>An ink delivery system for an ink jet printer having a print carriage (16) that traverses across a print medium having an ink source (48), a print head (28), and a coupler for coupling the ink source to the print head. The coupler includes a pair of flexible tubes (40, 42) for carrying the ink and a Y-coupler (44), coupled for coupling to the pair of flexible tubes and the ink source, the Y-coupler causing the pair of flexible tubes to initially diverge. A check valve (36) is provided to prevent back siphoning.</p> |
