Abstract
An ink delivery system for a printer. In one embodiment, the system includes an ink supply that contains ink to be delivered to a printhead of the printer and an ink buffer positioned physically below the ink supply such that ink can flow to the ink buffer under gravity alone, the ink buffer being configured to be repeatedly filled with ink from the ink supply and to deliver that ink to the printhead.
