Abstract
In a recirculating inkjet print recording method and system, ink is stored at an ink supply. Fluid, including ink, is carried from the ink supply to a reservoir. Ink received from the reservoir is recorded onto a medium. Fluid, including ink and air, is carried from the reservoir to the ink supply. A proportion of ink in the fluid carried from the reservoir to the ink supply self-adjusts to prevent overfilling the reservoir.
