Abstract
An ink jet apparatus utilises a bubble trap (20) in the
supply line (22) from the reservoir (44) to the inlet (18) to the
jet. The bubble trap (20) includes a screen (42) at the bottom
of the bubble trap on the inlet side so as to block the flow of
ink through the inlet (18) with an air bubble trapped at the
screen (42). A valve (60) in the ink flow line (46) leading to the
bubble trap (20) is spaced from a needle (48) which pierces
the septum (50) of a cartridge (44). The valve (68) is located
downstream from the needle (48) and septum (50).
