Inside an ink cartridge
🕑 Added 2023-10-02 05:04:18 +0000 UTCI wasn't expecting this cartridge to be so complex. I expected an ink reservoir section and an air intake port, but I guess the real complexity is ensuring that the ink does not come out the breather port during shipping and storage.
It's nice that it returns ink from the air void to the ink area via the little sump at the bottom of the cartridge.

Just WOW! That's amazingly complex. Thanks for your curiosity and reverse engineering that to show us.

That’s some insane engineering.
Well engineered and good manufactured item them. I was expecting just a labyrinth on the air entrance to make ink not going out the wrong way, but the Diaphragms and the recovery ink think (lets call it something for that bit that catches the misplaced ink) caught me by surprise. Thank you!

Still not a reason for making them so expensive.
