Abstract
A rejuvenation station has a housing with a first area adapted to hold a fluid supply, and a second area adapted to hold a printer cartridge. In the first area is a first fluidic interconnect that is adapted to couple with the fluid supply. In the second area is a second fluidic interconnect that is adapted to couple with the printer cartridge. A fluid path in the housing couples the fluidic interconnects. An actuator extracts fluid from at least one of the fluid supply and the printer cartridge, and inserts fluid into the printer cartridge through the fluid path.
