Modular Ink Delivery System
A modular ink delivery system is the separation of ink cartridges and printheads into
individual, single-color components. Traditional inkjet printers use one black and one tri-
color ink cartridge, each with integrated printheads. HP's modular ink delivery system
features four separate ink cartridges--one for each primary printing color--and four
corresponding long-life printheads, with tubes connecting the components. Including the
standard and high-capacity black ink cartridges, there are actually nine consumables, with
only eight used in the printer at one time.
