ABSTRACT:
A plurality of ink supply bags for an inkjet printer are each enclosed in a separate protective enclosure having a front opening for an end-connect outlet. The cross-section of the enclosure is a diamond shaped parallelogram so that when several of the enclosures are placed side-by-side, overlapping occurs between adjacent enclosures. This provides a decreased overall width for an ink supply station on the printer while at the same time still allowing use of a flattened collapsible bag inside each enclosure. The ink supply station includes a front-access storage shelf having separate divider walls which together with a floor define a series of slots which coincide with the outer shape of the enclosures for removably receiving and protectively holding the enclosures together on the printer in separated nesting relationship.
