Ink jet printhead assembly with modular printheads

摘要

An ink jet printhead assembly includes a chassis. A number of printhead modules are mounted on the chassis. Each printhead module includes an ink distribution member that is attached to the ink reservoir. An elongate printhead chip is arranged on the ink distribution member to receive ink fed from the ink distribution member. The printhead modules are positioned on the chassis so that the printhead chips span a printing zone.
