A method of priming a printhead in an inkjet printer, the printhead having a nozzle face defining an array of nozzles for ejecting ink on to a media substrate fed past the printhead in a media feed direction, by providing a pad having a contact face dimensioned so that it can encompass all the nozzles in the array, moving the pad such that the contact face engages the nozzle face to cover the array of nozzles, forcing ink into the printhead under pressure until ink flows out the nozzles in the array and, withdrawing the pad such that the contact face disengages the nozzle face.
