FLUID CARTRIDGE FOR A PRINTING DEVICE

A fluid cartridge (10A) for a printing device includes a housing (12) including a floor (14)， a chamber (16) defined in the housing (12) and configured to store an ink therein， a capillary medium disposed in the housing (12) and in operative communication with the chamber (20)， and a wick disposed at least partially in an opening of the floor (14)， the wick (24) including a portion extending a predetermined distance into the housing (12) such that the wick (24) portion contacts the capillary medium. The fluid cartridge further includes an enriched pigment-confining member (26) established inside the housing (12) such that the confining member (26) physically contacts the floor (14) and surrounds at least a portion of a periphery of the wick (24). The confining member (26) is configured to i) block enriched ink (27) from the wick (24)， and/or ii) dilute the enriched ink (27) prior to flowing through the wick (24).
