A printing system (100; 298) comprising: an inkjet printer comprising a plurality of print heads for respectively jetting a plurality of color inks onto a recording medium; a plurality of bulk ink containers (201a-201n) storing liquid inks of various colors, wherein the totality of the various colors define a color model; a plurality of primary ink delivery modules (202a-202n) configured for individually delivering individually-colored inks to each of the plurality of print heads, wherein each of the primary ink delivery modules further comprise: a pump configured to draw a fluid from an individual bulk ink container, wherein said fluid comprises ink and at least a portion of gas mixed with said ink; at least one pump outlet (209a, 209b) configured for pushing said fluid to a bleed component comprising a primary filter, a filter outlet, and a bleed valve characterized by an air bleeder assembly with a first terminal end coupled with said bleed valve via a supply line and a second terminal end coupled with said bulk ink container, wherein said air bleeder assembly further comprises: a flow restrictor orifice precisely-sized to allow said gas to flow back to said individual bulk ink container and to create enough pressure for gas-free ink to be pumped through the bleed component and to a print head via said pump outlet; and a secondary filter positioned upstream from said flow restrictor orifice. an inkjet printer comprising a plurality of print heads for respectively jetting a plurality of color inks onto a recording medium; a plurality of bulk ink containers (201a-201n) storing liquid inks of various colors, wherein the totality of the various colors define a color model; a plurality of primary ink delivery modules (202a-202n) configured for individually delivering individually-colored inks to each of the plurality of print heads, wherein each of the primary ink delivery modules further comprise: a pump configured to draw a fluid from an individual bulk ink container, wherein said fluid comprises ink and at least a portion of gas mixed with said ink; at least one pump outlet (209a, 209b) configured for pushing said fluid to a bleed component comprising a primary filter, a filter outlet, and a bleed valve characterized by an air bleeder assembly with a first terminal end coupled with said bleed valve via a supply line and a second terminal end coupled with said bulk ink container, wherein said air bleeder assembly further comprises: a flow restrictor orifice precisely-sized to allow said gas to flow back to said individual bulk ink container and to create enough pressure for gas-free ink to be pumped through the bleed component and to a print head via said pump outlet; and a secondary filter positioned upstream from said flow restrictor orifice. a pump configured to draw a fluid from an individual bulk ink container, wherein said fluid comprises ink and at least a portion of gas mixed with said ink; at least one pump outlet (209a, 209b) configured for pushing said fluid to a bleed component comprising a primary filter, a filter outlet, and a bleed valve characterized by an air bleeder assembly with a first terminal end coupled with said bleed valve via a supply line and a second terminal end coupled with said bulk ink container, wherein said air bleeder assembly further comprises: a flow restrictor orifice precisely-sized to allow said gas to flow back to said individual bulk ink container and to create enough pressure for gas-free ink to be pumped through the bleed component and to a print head via said pump outlet; and a secondary filter positioned upstream from said flow restrictor orifice. a flow restrictor orifice precisely-sized to allow said gas to flow back to said individual bulk ink container and to create enough pressure for gas-free ink to be pumped through the bleed component and to a print head via said pump outlet; and a secondary filter positioned upstream from said flow restrictor orifice.
