Inkjet cartridge with air management system

An inkjet cartridge 100, 200 for use with a thermal inkjet printer includes a standpipe area 140, 240 and an entrained ink chamber 120, 220 that are connected in fluidic communication. The entrained ink chamber and standpipe area can be enclosed by a wall 110, 210 that can have a plurality of panels or facets 111, 211, 112, 212, 113, 213, 114, 214. The inkjet cartridge also includes a duct 150 that is connected in fluidic communication to both the standpipe area and the entrained ink chamber, wherein the connection to the entrained ink chamber is operatively located above the standpipe area, thus enabling anomalous air bubbles to migrate from the standpipe area and into the entrained ink chamber.
