Ink System parts diagram: 1 ink pump, 2 mixer tank, 3 main ink filter, 4 viscometer, 5 solenoid valve manifold, 6 venturi, 7 pressure sensor, 8 o-ring set. 10 parts in 8 assemblies. — Ink System parts diagram. Numbers match the table below; each box is one top-level part or assembly with what it contains.

#	Part	Qty	What it does
1	Ink Pump 3 parts	1×	Pressure side
2	Mixer Tank	1×	Reservoir where returned ink, fresh ink, and make-up solvent are blended; typically under 1 L working volume.
3	Main Ink Filter	1×	Final 10 µm filter protecting the nozzle from particles that would split the jet.
4	Viscometer	1×	Falling-ball or timed-orifice sensor that triggers solvent addition as ink thickens through evaporation.
5	Solenoid Valve Manifold	1×	Block of solenoid valves sequencing ink, solvent, flush, and bleed flows during start-up and shutdown.
6	Venturi	1×	Gutter suction
7	Pressure Sensor	1×	Ink line pressure
8	O-Ring Set	1×	Circuit seals
