ABSTRACT:
A printing system includes a high volumetric efficient free-ink container vessel. The vessel includes an autonomous venting system, which supplies air to, and/or seals, the interior of the ink container in concert with an ink delivery system without reliance on external mechanical devices, feedback or control systems. The autonomous vent system includes a flexible diaphragm with a hole. The autonomous vent system is configured to autonomously open the diaphragm hole to permit atmospheric air to enter the vessel when ink is extracted from the vessel by the ink delivery system, and autonomously close the diaphragm hole when the ink delivery system is inactive. Closing and opening of the hole is actuated by pressure differentials between the interior of the ink container and atmospheric ambient pressure.
