The ink buffer to bridge sudden high ink demand that can not 
be pulled through the ink tubes that fast. It could well be 
that the membrane also dampens the effect of the ink 
pressure fluctuations due to the head carriage movements.

There's a difference between loading the carriage with the 
dead weight of the carts or having it pull tubing around. 
That's an exaggeration but you have to be careful that the 
tubes are unrolling correctly etc. I has worked for other 
CIS systems so just check how it is done there.
