bläckreservoir

A bläckreservoir, often translated as ink reservoir, is a component found in various writing instruments and printing devices responsible for storing ink. In fountain pens, it's a key element that holds the ink and feeds it to the nib. These reservoirs can take several forms, including a sac that is squeezed, a piston mechanism that draws ink into a built-in chamber, or a removable cartridge that is inserted into the pen. The capacity of a bläckreservoir dictates how long a writing instrument can be used before needing a refill.

In the context of printing, particularly with inkjet printers, the bläckreservoir refers to the ink cartridges or tanks that hold the colored inks used for printing. These reservoirs are designed to be easily replaced when depleted. The design and size of these reservoirs are crucial for determining the overall cost of ownership and the frequency of maintenance required for the printing device. They ensure a consistent and controlled supply of ink to the print head, enabling the transfer of images and text onto paper.
