Inkjet print head device and a method and system for detecting ink leakage

A system for detecting ink leakage in a print head for continuous inkjet printing, comprising an inkjet print head device, a sensor controller and a main controller for monitoring the signals from the sensor, the inkjet print head device comprising a transducer, a charge electrode, a deflection plate, a gutter, and a holster, provided that the holster is receiving at least the aforementioned components of the inkjet print head device,

• wherein the holster comprises an opening for a dedicated outlet for the ink a printing mode and further comprises an ink leakage detection area, the ink leakage detection area comprising a non-conductive substrate and conductive circuit provided thereon,
• wherein the sensor controller is operatively connected to the ink leakage detection area,
• wherein the ink leakage detection area is configured to send to the sensor controller an ink leak signal, a holster mounted signal and a signal referring about a wiring connection.
