OFFSET INLETS FOR MULTICOLOR PRINTHEADS

摘要

An inkjet array has been developed that enables inlets for one group of inkjet ejectors to be laterally offset from the nozzles of the inkjet ejectors in the group and also enables inlets for another group of inkjet ejectors to be laterally offset from the nozzles of the inkjet ejectors in the other group. The lateral offset distance increases the distance between the inlets of the two groups to provide a wider bonding area between the two groups and improve the fluidic isolation between the two groups of inkjet ejectors.
