Ink Cartridge
An ink cartridge or inkjet cartridge is a component of an inkjet printer that contains ink to be deposited onto paper during printing. It consists of one or more ink reservoirs and can include Inkjet printer#Underlying business model, electronic contacts and a chip to exchange information with the printer. Design Thermal Most consumer inkjet printers use a Thermal expansion, thermal inkjet. Inside each partition of the ink reservoir is a heating element with a tiny metal plate or Resistor ladder, resistor. In response to a signal given by the printer, a tiny current (electricity), current flows through the metal or resistor, making it warm, and the ink in contact with the heated resistor is vaporized into a tiny steam bubble inside the nozzle. As a result, an ink droplet is forced out of the cartridge nozzle onto the paper. This process takes a fraction of a millisecond. The printing depends on the smooth flow of ink, which can be hindered if the ink begins to dry at the ...
