Abstract:
1. An ink delivery system comprising: a first closed pathway for a first ink flow through a multi-nozzle printhead in a first direction; a second closed pathway for a second ink flow through the multi-nozzle printhead, the second pathway configured to move the second ink flow in a second direction; a first shunt between the first closed pathway and the second closed pathway at a first end of the multi-nozzle printhead, the first shunt allowing some of the first ink flow exiting the multi-nozzle printhead to merge with the second ink flow entering the multi-nozzle printhead; and, a second shunt between the first closed pathway and the second closed pathway at a second end of the multi-nozzle printhead, the second shunt allowing some of the second ink flow exiting the multi-nozzle printhead to merge with the first ink flow entering the multi-nozzle printhead.
