Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus is provided which enables ink used in a print head disposed in an ink jet printing arrangement to be produced, in situ, from an ink concentrate and a diluting agent. Such apparatus includes a generally hollow fluid-tight housing member. A collapsible ink concentrate container is provided for containing a predetermined volume of ink concentrate therein. The container is disposed in an interior portion of such housing member. A connection is disposed on the housing member and in fluid communication with the interior portion of such housing member for connecting the housing member to a source of fluid pressure. An ink concentrate fluid communication passageway is connected to the ink concentrate container for communicating a predetermined volume of ink concentrate to a mixing apparatus. A fluid communication is established for communicating a diluting agent from the interior portion of such housing member to the mixing apparatus.
