A resealed inkjet printer cartridge and method of manufacture in which an ink cartridge is reconditioned, recharged and resealed by a process which substantially eliminates ǃ?air lockǃ? or interruption of ink flow to the printer head due to entrained air; which provides for welding together recharged cartridge subassemblies without the use of consumable adhesive or glue; and having a keyless cap adapted for use in various keyed cartridge receptacle inkjet printers.
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to improvements in the field of ink cartridge remanufacture in which a previously depleted ink cartridge is reconditioned, recharged and resealed by a process including a centrifugation technique which substantially eliminates "air lock" or interruption of ink flow to the print head due to entrained air, and which provides for the welding together of cartridge subassemblies without the use of consumable adhesive or glue; and having a sterically keyless replacement cap adapted for use in various inkjet printers having sterically keyed ink cartridge receptacles, thereby resulting in improved product performance, increased production efficiency, decreased production cost and greater product utility.
