Abstract
A remote print head assembly for a continuous ink jet printing system includes an upper print head portion for generating ink droplet streams and a lower print head portion for selectively charging and catching droplets. A frame surrounds the upper and lower print head portions and has a print droplet egress opening. A closure member is selectively movable to open or close the droplet egress respectively to allow printing or to effect print head start-up operations.
