Abstract
A system for supplying ink to a composite printing head has a first compartment in fluid flow communication with a first set of orifices, and a second compartment in fluid flow communication with a second set of orifices. The first and second compartments are configured to allow the egress of ink to maintain the level of ink therein at a desired fill height. A reservoir is also provided for supplying ink to the first and second compartments.
