Abstract
The present invention relates to a cartridge for supplying fluid to an ink jet nozzle. The fluid or ink level of the cartridge is indicated by a visualization through a transparent plate and has a scale to facilitate the determination of remaining ink in the cartridge. The cartridge additionally possesses features which allow ink to be guided and collected into a recess thereby reducing the amount of residual ink which remains in a cartridge.
