ABSTRACT:
A variety of adaptive ink delivery systems for an existing ink-jet printing system are usable in lieu of an original equipment ink cartridge. Each adaptive ink delivery system has an ink reservoir in communication with a fluid outlet configured to couple with the fluid inlet on the printing system. Each ink delivery system also has an electrical adapter connector which mates with an electrical connector on the printing system. Each ink delivery system has an information storage device to exchange enabling information with a controller of the printing system. The information storage device may be an emulation circuit that provides enabling information to the printing system regardless of the actual condition of the ink reservoir. The adaptive supplies allow the information storage device and/or the replacement ink reservoir to be located on or optionally remotely from the printing system.
