Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for recycling waster phase change ink in a phase change ink imaging device.SOLUTION: A system for recycling a waste phase change ink in a phase change ink imaging device includes a waste ink collector positioned within the phase change ink imaging device to collect the waste phase change ink produced by a printhead 33 in the phase change ink imaging device. The waste ink collector includes a heater for heating the waste phase change ink in the collector to at least a phase change ink melting temperature. A waste phase change ink conveyor is configured to convey the melted waste phase change ink from the waste ink collector to an ink reservoir for the printhead 33.
