Zusammenfassung:	A solid ink delivery system (202) for use with a solid ink stick (206) for use in solid ink printers is provided. The solid ink delivery system is used for delivering the stick to a melting station (230) for melting the stick so that the ink may be transferred to media to form an image on the media. The delivery system includes a guide (203) for guiding the stick in a prescribed path. The guide defines a loading position (224) to permit the stick to be placed in the guide and a delivery position adjacent the melt station. The stick advances from the loading position to the delivery position in the prescribed path and a portion (207) of the prescribed path is arcuate.
