ABSTRACT:
Damage is prevented in printing systems by allowing fluid from the printing system's fluid delivery system to expand. In one embodiment, this is accomplished by fluidly connecting a fluid expansion receptacle to the fluid delivery system. The fluid expansion receptacle provides volumetric compliance so that if printing fluid in the system expands, such as due to freezing, the fluid is able to expand into the fluid expansion receptacle and not damage the printing system.
