Patent ID: 8714719

Claim:
A printhead unit for industrial inkjet printing comprising: a fluidic system comprising: a pneumatic assembly manifold block assembly proving distribution of control, said pneumatic manifold block assembly including a first surface and a second surface and having a plurality of channels fabricated therein, wherein the pneumatic manifold block assembly is ported for communication with a manifold component selected from a valve, a reservoir, a vacuum source, and an inert gas source; a fluidic manifold block assembly, said fluidic manifold block assembly comprising a first surface and a second surface and having a plurality of channels fabricated therein, wherein the fluidic manifold block assembly is ported for communication with a manifold component selected from a valve, a reservoir, a printhead assembly, and a waste system; and a primary dispensing reservoir including at least one inlet port and at least one outlet port, wherein the primary dispensing reservoir is in fluid communication with the pneumatic manifold block assembly and the fluidic manifold block assembly; an electrical interface plate including a first surface for receiving electrical interconnections and a second surface adjoining the first surface of the pneumatic manifold block assembly, wherein the first surface for receiving electrical interconnections is quick-coupling adapted; and an adaptor plate manifold assembly comprising a first member adjoining the second surface of the fluidic manifold block assembly and a second member configured to receive the printhead assembly, wherein the adapter plate manifold assembly is in fluid communication with the primary dispensing reservoir and the printhead assembly.
