Abstract

A movable ink reservoir carries a plurality of ink jet print heads and supplies ink to the heads by means of separate conduits. The reservoir includes baffle means therein formed to provide individual ink tanks for the print heads and to prevent or substantially minimize the sloshing motion of the ink as the reservoir is accelerated and decelerated in printing operation.
