ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are embodiments of an ink cartridge that includes therein a print head for dispensing ink onto a media, a movement mechanism for enabling movement of the print head, and/or an ink service station. In one embodiment, the cartridge is designed to be inserted into a receptacle so that the cartridge and receptacle form a radial printing system. The receptacle may also include a motion actuator for engaging with the movement mechanism of the cartridge to thereby move the print head of the cartridge. The movement mechanism of the cartridge works in conjunction with the actuator of the receptacle to thereby move the print head with respect to the cartridge, e.g., moving into and out of the cartridge, and with respect to a rotating media to enable ink to be dispensed by the print head along a radius of a rotating circular media. In a specific implementation, the cartridge remains fixed with respect to the media. In an example application, the radial print system may be used to print a label on the top surface of a recordable circular media, such as a recordable compact disc (CD-R).
