A system and process for capturing and rendering ink is described. Chip stack cutter devices may include an elongated displacement member, which may extend from an actuating lever member movably coupled to a base member configured to slide along a channel of a chip stack carrier. Default values are determined of one or more parameters of at least some portion of the digital image. Additionally, the baffle preferably is disposed within the end tank so that the peripheral channel is substantially juxtaposed with the through-hole in the end tank for providing a visual leak indicator. The charge pump includes a first current source coupled to a first voltage and a second current source electrically coupled to a second voltage, the second current source including a resistor.
