Abstract
A mixer system for use with a non-contact liquid printer comprises: a printing liquid reservoir (103) and an expansion volume (105); and an aspirator element (111; 311; 411), configured to reduce the pressure in the expansion volume (105), thereby to displace printing liquid (L) from the reservoir (103) to the expansion volume (105), and restore the pressure in the expansion volume (105), thereby to return the printing liquid (L) to the reservoir (103) so as to mix the printing liquid (L) therein.
