ABSTRACT:
An improved solid ink stick melt plate design is provided for a solid ink color printer which reliability melts solid ink sticks on demand fed from an ink stick loading bin to ink stick melt plates. The melt plates guide the molten ink into individual color ink reservoirs in the printer print head. The improved melt plate design employs a positive temperature coefficient resistor to prevent the melt plate temperature from becoming too high when not in contact with an ink stick.
