<p>A novel leakproof ribbon cartridge system (10) includes an ink reservoir (42) and wick (44) which, together, are configured to form a closed system such that ink is constantly recirculated between the reservoir (42) and the wick (44). In addition, the ribbon cartridge (10) includes a spring apparatus (32, 48) for providing a print ribbon (12) to the wick (44) only when the ribbon cartridge (10) is in operation.</p> |
